By focusing on the major turning-points in life's story, and by disregarding the usual subject boundaries, Melvin Bolton has produced a chronicle of events and connections that lead from earliest times to global concerns that feature in today's headlines.
As one reviewer describes it on the back cover, this is a 'fascinatingly informative, non-preachy account of our global predicament and how we got here.' Another describes the book as 'truly multidisciplinary and epic in scale, while at the same time highly readable and focused on the core challenges of our time.'
This thoroughly-referenced volume is easily accessible to interested readers, while providing a comprehensive background for those students who take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental problems.
