About the Book

Dynamic World is a core text for Geography and related studies because it focuses on the fundamental issue of the relationships between people and the environment. These complex interactions are dynamic in time and space and are manifested as land-cover and land-use characteristics. Natural factors such as climate, geology and hydrology conspire with socio-economic factors such as population growth, economic and political forces, resource availability and cultural traditions, to generate continually changing land-cover and land-use patterns. This book looks at changes in land-cover and land-use over the last three million years, as the ice caps have waxed and waned, human life has evolved, technology has advanced and the needs of society have transformed. Dynamic World considers the impact of factors as diverse as agriculture, urban growth, waste disposal, war, terrorism and tourism. Fascinating case studies from a wide range of environments illustrate the text, further reading recommendations accompany each chapter, and there is an extensive bibliography and comprehensive index. This panoramic book examines the past, present and future changes of planet Earth with panache and will be a core text for students of geography and environmental studies.
