SynopsisThis book explores the shifting relationship between people and their environment by focusing on the relationship between the environmental and historical change. It examines questions such as; how has climate fluctuated and why? how have people exploited natural and defined their local place in it?; and why have boundaries taken the shapes they have?, This book explores the shifting relationship between people and their environments by focusing on the environmental change and historical change from the last Ice Age to the present. It examines questions such as: How has climate fluctuated and why? How have people exploited nature and defined their local place in it? Why have boundaries taken the shapes they have?, Present anxieties about global warming and threats to biodiversity leave no doubts that environmental changes impact upon humans. Perceptions of the environment change as people try to define and shape 'nature' in different ways. The book explores the relationship between environmental change and society from the last Ice Age to the present. The book examines the environmental impact of fluctuations in climate and the demand for energy, and the patters which human societies have imposed on their surroundings, from boundaries to the cultural projections of legends and film. Together they show how insights from the disciplines of geography and geography, history and anthropology, can throw fresh light on the long-term attachment of people to place. The chapters in this book were originally delivered as Linacre Lectures at Linacre College, Oxford University
