Описание:

The Human Footprint is an innovative and accessible study of transnational environmental history, which uses broad themes to highlight the long and rich history of the earth. Offering a coherent, comparative examination of the world?s past, Penna?s multidisciplinary approach draws on the most recent research in geology, climatology, archaeology, anthropology, and history. Flowing from the Paleolithic to the present era, each chapter contains a single theme, ranging from the global impact of agriculture and urbanization, to manufacturing, consumption, and industrialization. In recognizing how humans have fit into this history of the earth, The Human Footprint brings harmony to human history and ecology, providing a fresh, much–needed narrative of world history.
