Notes |
The volume concentrates on the impacts of human activities on the “faces and flows” of the gobal environment over the past three centuries. Its choice of subject implies that the impacts are to an important degree unidirectional. Any such choice of wording and subject has positivist or whiggian overtones. There are also Malthusian roots to the apparent assumption that changes in human societies and behaviour autonomously generate environmental impacts. |
