Product Description

Now in its second edition. This text has been extensively revised and rewritten to reflect the growth in environmental research during the last decade. Human-induced environmental change is occurring at such a rapid rate that, inevitably, the fundamental processes involved in biogeochemical cycling are being altered.
Global Environmental Change considers alterations to the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and other elements as a result of industrial/technological development and agriculture, which have significantly altered the natural environment. The book adopts a temporal and spatial approach to environmental change, beginning with the natural environmental change of the Quaternery period and continuing with the culturally-induced change since the inception of agriculture 10,000 years ago.

Fantastic in-depth explanations of all aspects of the field
This book is a must for all univeristy students studying this subject. The book is clearly set out, has plenty of useful diagrams and has a good reference list for further study. Although this book serves as a good textbook, it is specific enough to be useful as citation material in essays.
