Deforestation， soil runoff， salination and pollution， all recurrent themes of the contemporary world， but they are not new to the world. This is a sweeping review of the environmental impacts of human settlement and development worldwide over the past 5000 years. The book shows that the processes of population growth， intense resource accumulation and urbanization in ancient and modern societies almost universally bring on ecological disaster， which can often contribute to the fall of that society. It then looks at the modern European world-system and its impact on the environment. The author， Sing Chew， also traces the existence of environmental conservation ideas and movements over the 5000 year span， and challenges the reader to change long-term trends of ecological disaster.
Book Description
Deforestation， soil runoff， salination， pollution. While recurrent themes of the contemporary world， they are not new to us. In this broad sweeping review of the environmental impacts of human settlement and development worldwide over the past 5，000 years， Sing C. Chew shows that these processes are as old as civilization itself. With examples ranging from Ancient Mesopotamia to Malaya， Mycenaean Greece to Ming China， Chew shows that the processes of population growth， intensive resource accumulation， and urbanization in ancient and modern societies almost universally bring on ecological disaster， which often contributes to the decline and fall of that society. He then turns his eye to the development of the modern European world-system and its impact on the environment. Challenging us to change these long-term trends， Chew also traces the existence of environmental conservation ideas and movements over the span of 5，000 years. Can we do it? Look at Chew’s evidence of the past five millennia and decide. Ideal for courses in environmental history， anthropology， and sociology， and world-systems theory.
