Description: Human societies are a key component in processes of change operating in the natural environment at every scale from the local to the global. How human beings affect climate, rivers, the oceans, wild life, and the landscape is one of the main areas of environmental science and physical geography. These issues are covered in the author's The Human Impact (now in its fourth edition). The Human Impact Reader has been designed to be used with this text as an essential resource. It consists of key papers on landform, hydrological and ecological processes, and on important cases drawn from all over the world.
