Produktinformationen zu „The Holocene (ePub)“
The Holocene provides students, researchers and
lay-readers with the remarkable story of how the natural world has
been transformed since the end of the last Ice Age around 15,000
years ago. This period has witnessed a shift from
environmental changes determined by natural forces to those
dominated by human actions, including those of climate and
greenhouse gases. Understanding the environmental changes - both
natural and anthropogenic - that have occurred during the Holocene
is of crucial importance if we are to achieve a sustainable
environmental future.
Revised and updated to take full account of the most recent
advances, the third edition of this classic text includes
substantial material on the scientific methods that are used to
reconstruct and date past environments, as well as new concepts
such as the Anthropocene. The book is fully-illustrated, global in
coverage, and contains case studies, a glossary and more than 500
new references.
