Publisher's Synopsis
Taking a holistic approach to human-environment relations, this work begins by drawing out processes and problems, then considers the different attitudes and resolutions offered by humans to themselves and to nature. It attempts to give an integrated view of the nature of the environment and those problems of society which have an environmental delivery route. The book asks these key questions: how have social sciences helped our understanding of the world?; what are the impacts of laws and regulations on human activities?; and what constitutes material resources, renewable and non-renewable?
