Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Described in "Nature" as 'a delight for the soil aficionado', this multi-authored collection examines the complex interrelations between societies in different parts of the world and the soils they relied on from the perspectives of geomorphology, archaeology, pedology and history. The geographical spread includes Mesoamerica, Africa, Europe, Australia, India and Easter Island. Few things are more important to human survival than the fertility of the soils from which so much of our food comes. Yet few aspects of the relationship between human society and the environment get so little attention. This book explores some of the enormous variety in the ways that people have worked with, thought about, damaged and restored soils. It also shows some of the ways in which soils, their properties and their histories have influenced human affairs. Soils are the substrate of all human society: from the palaeolithic to the present, their history is our history.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. English summary: Soils perform a variety of functions. Soils are the basis of food and other biomass products; they provide crucial resources; and they store, filter, and transform materials (such as water) that are vital for life. Soils are a physical and cultural environment for humankind, a natural habitat, and they sustain the largest gene pool in the biosphere. Pressures on soils are increasing dramatically. Soils need to become central to global change discussions in order to advise policy makers in their understanding of the potentials, limits, and vulnerabilities of soils. In particular, strategies for sustainable management of soils in a rapidly changing world require a better understanding of soil-human interactions. Human impacts on soils are complex and site specific; resulting in pressures on biodiversity, water availability and quality, and the atmosphere. Our rapidly increasing needs for food and energy place growing and conflicting demands on soil. Development issues, food security, nature conservation, our dependence on fossil fuels, social inequality, and armed conflict all have a bearing on soils. This volume is a truly interdisciplinary attempt to offer an overview of the natural and the social side of the challenge of sustaining soils. 21 world-renowned experts from a wide range of backgrounds review the existing knowledge from which an integrated assessment of the challenges ahead emerges. Soils and societies are linked in a historically and geographically wide-ranging overview that allows readers to understand how deeply-rooted current problems are, but also offers a perspective on potentially sustainable solutions. The links of soils and atmosphere are described with respect to biomass production and global climate change, which are considered together. How the agrofuel option has been transformed into EU policy and how this policy in turn transformed and continues to transform European and African land is another topic, which is discussed in depth. In this book, soils are put centre stage in the debate about global climate change and biomass production, which influences considerably the evaluation of sustainable options for the future. German description: Nahrungsmittelproduktion und andere nachwachsende Ressourcen haben zahlreiche Funktionen in den Okosystemen, insbesondere im Wasserkreislauf. Boden sind ein physisches und kulturelles Umfeld fur die Menschheit, ein naturlicher Lebensraum und sie beinhalten den grossten Genpool der Biosphare. Die Nutzungskonflikte um den Boden wachsen dramatisch an. Boden mussen ins Zentrum der Diskussionen um globalen Wandel rucken, um die politischen Entscheidungstrager hinsichtlich der Potenziale, der Grenzen und der Verletzlichkeit des Bodens zu beraten. Insbesondere erfordern Strategien fur eine nachhaltige Bewirtschaftung der Boden in einer sich rasch verandernden Welt ein besseres Verstandnis der Boden-Mensch-Interaktionen. Menschliche Einflusse auf Boden sind komplex und ortsspezifisch, was zur Beeinflussung der Biodiversitat, Wasser-Verfugbarkeit und Qualitat, und der Atmosphare fuhrt. Unser rasch steigender Bedarf an Nahrungsmitteln und Energie resultiert in wachsenden und gegensatzlichen Anspruche an den Boden. Entwicklungsfragen, Ernahrungssicherung, Umweltschutz, unsere Abhangigkeit von fossilen Brennstoffen, soziale Ungleichheit und bewaffnete Konflikte haben Einfluss auf die Boden. Dieser Band ist ein genuin interdisziplinarer Versuch, einen Uberblick uber die naturliche und die soziale Seite der Herausforderung eines nachhaltigen Umgangs mit Boden zu bieten. 21 weltweit renommierte Experten aus einer Vielzahl von Disziplinen bieten einen Uberblick uber den Kenntnisstand, auf dessen Basis eine integrierte Bewertung der kunftigen Herausforderungen moglich wird. Boden und Gesellschaften werden in einem historisch und geographisch bre Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
