Publisher's Synopsis
Man and Nature: Or Physical Geography as Modified by Human Action is a book written by George Perkins Marsh in 1864. This book is an early work in the field of environmentalism and conservation, and it discusses the relationship between humans and the natural world. Marsh argues that human actions, such as deforestation, overgrazing, and soil erosion, have a significant impact on the environment and can lead to ecological degradation and even climate change. He also explores the ways in which humans can work to mitigate these negative effects and preserve the natural world for future generations. The book is a seminal work in the history of environmentalism and has had a lasting impact on the way we think about the relationship between humans and the environment. It is a must-read for anyone interested in environmental issues, conservation, and sustainability.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
