Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-270) Dirt, soil, call it what you want--it's everywhere we go. It is the root of our existence, supporting our feet, our farms, our cities. This fascinating yet disquieting book finds, however, that we are running out of dirt, and it's no laughing matter. An engaging natural and cultural history of soil that sweeps from ancient civilizations to modern times, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations explores the compelling idea that we are--and have long been--using up Earth's soil. Once bare of protective vegetation and exposed to wind and rain, cultivated soils erode bit by bit, slowly enough to be ignored Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Dedication Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; 1.

Montgomery Erosion of civilizations [2012 ed., with a new preface] Berkeley University of California Press 2012 1 Online-Ressource (xv, 285 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-270) Dirt, soil, call it what you want--it's everywhere we go. It is the root of our existence, supporting our feet, our farms, our cities. This fascinating yet disquieting book finds, however, that we are running out of dirt, and it's no laughing matter. An engaging natural and cultural history of soil that sweeps from ancient civilizations to modern times, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations explores the compelling idea that we are--and have long been--using up Earth's soil. Once bare of protective vegetation and exposed to wind and rain, cultivated soils erode bit by bit, slowly enough to be ignored Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Dedication Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; 1.
