The
Hohm
provides students, researchers and lay-readers with the remarkable story of how the natural
world has been transformed since the end of the last Ice Age around
15,000
years ago. This period has
witnessed a shift from environmental changes determined by natural forces to those dominated by
human actions, including those of climate and greenhouse gases. Understanding the environmental
changes
-
both natural and anthropogenic
-
that have occurred during the Holocene is of crucial
importance if we are to achieve a sustainable environmental future,
Revised and updated to take full account of the most recent advances, the third edition of this classic
text includes substantial material on the scientific methods that are used to reconstruct and date past
environments, as well as new concepts such as the Anthropocene. The book is fully illustrated, global in
coverage, and contains case studies, a glossary and more than
500
new references.
