This fifth edition has been extensively updated and referenced. It is wide-ranging in coverage and well illustrated throughout. It provides a comprehensive view of the major environmental issues facing the world today. The Human Impact gives students of the environment an essential introduction to the impact of humans on the Earth. This book is not published by Blackwell in the USA.
