The statistics in this book are a bit out of date, but it is still worth reading. It reminded me of Jared Diamond's book, "Collapse", but where Mr. Diamond looked at several societies in detail, Mr. Ponting takes a more integrated view as he examines the transition from a world dominated by hunter-gatherers to one of agriculture and then of industrialization. I found the chapter on the influence on classical, Jewish and Christian thought on the views of human beings' relationship to nature and animals particularly interesting, and it was something I had not seen in other books on the same topic. In this, and other, ways Mr. Ponting's book continues to add to the discussion of our global environment, despite being over a decade old. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)Roheline Raamat (3)
This study of world civilizations argues that humans have built prosperous societies by exploiting the Earth's resources, only to expand too much and collapse. The book argues for a realization of the finite nature of our resources, and the impact should we continue squandering them. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
