Reviews for An Introduction to Human-Environment Geography: Local Dynamics and Global Processes
"This is a great textbook, which introduces students to fundamental concepts in environmental geography and science. . . It is warmly recommended to bachelor students in human ecology and to master degree students in environmental sciences and geography." (International Journal Environment & Pollution, 1 October 2014) "Contributes a much-needed geographic perspective to the burgeoning, interdisciplinary field of environmental studies.... Where many environmental science texts operate from the assumption that nature is a place without humans, this book demonstrates that even forests and soils have a human history.... Well-suited to beginning undergraduates. Chapters contain clear learning objectives, summaries, and end-of-chapter questions. Scientific and social scientific concepts are explained with a minimum of technical terminology. Geography students will find it provides a solid foundation for future studies in human-environment interactions... fills an important niche by adding a distinctly geographical voice to the environmental studies conversation." (Journal of Geography, September 2014) "As a primer on the sort of ideas that should be considered, this is a useful addition." (Ecogeog, 1 May 2014) "Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduate and graduate readers." (Choice, 1 May 2014)
