Like Jared Diamond's Collapse, Clive Ponting's book studies the relationship between the environment and human history. It examines world civilizations from Sumeria to ancient Egypt, from Easter Island to the Roman Empire and it argues that human beings have repeatedly built societies that have grown and prospered by exploiting the Earth's resources, only to expand to the point where those resources could no longer sustain the societies' populations and subsequently collapsed. He shows, for example, how the fall of Rome has particular and vital importance for our modern global civilization.

Why has psychology had so little to say about the destruction of nature; and what sort of psychological understanding might help us to regenerate our relation to the natural world? In this book, David Kidner outlines a radically new form of social science that moves beyond the sterile separations between sociology, psychology, anthropology, and politics, and illustrates the sort of understanding that could successfully regenerate our relation to the nonhuman world.

In telling the amazing story of how life on earth came to be so diverse, distinguished scientist Edward O. Wilson defined a new environmental ethic – our obligation to conserve ecosystems, not simply individual species. In an extensive new foreword to this classic work, he assesses the continuing threat that human activity poses to the Earth’s rich biodiversity and, most importantly, explains why we should care.

Ecocide
A Short History of the Mass Extinction of Species
Franz Broswimmer

  In Stock HALF PRICE

Our society has reduced nature to an assortment of exploitable resources. Ecocide is a historical odyssey, carrying the reader from the environmental impact of pre-modern tribal societies through to the utter destructiveness of our own impoverished era. Where we find ourselves in the midst of the fastest mass extinction of species in the history of our planet, and on the brink of environmental catastrophe.

A well researched and informative book that should be read, though how the author suddenly jumps to such a liberal conclusion remains a mystery.
