Pearsall, Nicholas P. Dunning, John G. Jones, Pat Farrell, Neil A. Duncan, and Jason H. Curtis -- Insights from the outside : wider perspectives and future directions in island Caribbean historical ecology / John F. Cherry.In the first book-length treatise on historical ecology of the West Indies, Island Historical Ecology addresses Caribbean island ecologies from the perspective of social and cultural interventions over approximately eight millennia of human occupations. Environmental coring carried out in carefully selected wetlands allowed for the reconstruction of pre-colonial and colonial landscapes on islands between Venezuela and Puerto Rico. Comparisons with well-documented patterns in the Mediterranean and Pacific islands place this case study into a larger context of island historical ecology.Human ecologyCaribbean AreaHistoryNatureEffect of human beings onCaribbean AreaHistoryLandscape changesCaribbean AreaHistoryHuman ecologyHistory.NatureEffect of human beings onHistory.Landscape changesHistory.304.209729Siegel Peter E.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795192703321Island historical ecology3692273UNINA
