This book deals with the branch of geography that describes the spatial aspects of interactions between humans and the natural world. Environmental geography requires an understanding of the dynamics of geology, meteorology, hydrology, biogeography, and geomorphology, as well as the ways in which human societies conceptualize the environment. The links between cultural and physical geography were once more readily apparent than they are today. As human experience of the world is increasingly mediated by technology, the relationships have often become obscured. Environmental geography provides a critically important set of analytical tools for assessing the impact of human presence on the environment by measuring the result of human activity on natural landforms and cycles.Selected Contents: Global Influences on Milk Purchasing in New Zealand Implications for Health and Inequalities; POETICs of Industrial Carbon Dioxide Emissions; Traditional Commons of England and Wales in the Twenty-First Century; Carbon Fluxes Resulting From Land-Use Changes in theTamaulipan Thornscrub of Northeastern Mexico... - from Amzon
