Content:
The interaction between humans and their natural environment today is unprecedented in its scope and complexity, and recent scholarly research attests to the need for a multidisciplinary approach to fully study it. 〈i〉Mappae Mundi〈/i〉 answers this call for a scholarly synthesis, illuminating dominant social trends affecting the relationship between human societies and the environment.Contributors discuss this relationship, and analyze several different possibilities for the future. 〈i〉Mappae Mundi〈/i〉 will appeal to social scientists or anyone interested in the current and future consequences of our interaction with the natural environment.
