The unending frontier : an environmental history of the early modern world

Author:	John F Richards
Publisher:	Berkeley : University of California Press, ©2003.
Series:	California world history library, 1.
Edition/Format:	Book : State or province government publication : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"John F. Richards identifies four broadly shared historical processes that accelerated environmental change from roughly 1500 to 1800 C.E.: intensified human land use along settlement frontiers, biological invasions, commercial hunting of wildlife, and problems of energy scarcity. The Unending Frontier considers each of these trends in a series of case studies, sometimes of a particular place, such as Tokugawa Japan and early modern England and China and sometimes of a particular activity, such as the fur trade in North America and Russia, cod fishing in the North Atlantic, and whaling in the Arctic. Richards shows how humans - whether clearing forests or draining wetlands, transporting bacteria, insects, and livestock, hunting species to extinction, or reshaping landscapes - altered the material well-being of the natural world along with their own."--Jacket.  Read more...
