The Sage handbook of environmental change: volume 1: Approaches, evidences and causes, volume 2: Human impacts and responses

The SAGE Handbook of Environmental Change is an extensive survey of the interdisciplinary science of environmental change that examines the historic importance and future development of the field over two volumes. With more than 40 chapters, the volumes situate key arguments and debates by examining a retrospective audit of the discipline, its changing nature and diversity of approaches, key theoretical paradigms, its resonances between subfields and other disciplines, and its relationships to theory, research and practice. With contextualizing essays opening each volume, the work is arranged into six sections: o Approaches to Understanding Environmental Change;. o Evidence of Environmental Change and the Geo-Ecological Response;. o Causes and Mechanisms of Environmental Change. o Key Issues of Human-Induced Environmental Change;. o Patterns, Processes and Impacts of Environmental Change at the Regional Scale;. o Implications of Environmental Change for Society
