Human Dependence on Nature

How to Help Solve the Environmental Crisis

Beschreibung

Written in an accessible and engaging style, Washington provides an excellent overview of humanity's relationship with Nature. The book looks at energy flow, nutrient cycling, ecosystem services, ecosystem collapse, psychological and spiritual dependency. It also examines anthropocentrism and denial as causes of our unwillingness to respect our inherent dependence on the natural environment. The book concludes by bringing these issues together and providing a framework for solutions to the climate change crisis.
