Description: This book brings together ecologists, geographers, environmental historians and archaeologists in a series of studies of changing ecological relations in Europe and North America over the last 2000 years. By comparing inferences from a range of data sources, the authors provide new perspectives on the processes of environmental change in the past and in the present - and in doing so throw new light on human cultures and natural ecosystems.
