This hope is combined with increasing awareness of the environmental consequences of the very process of global industrialisation itself. This book explores the interactions between economic development and the physical environment in four regions of the developing world: Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia. The contributors focus on the 'Anthropocene': our present era, in which humanity's influence on the physical environment has begun to mark the geological record. Economic Development and Environmental History in the Anthropocene examines environmental changes at global level and human responses to environmental opportunities and constraints on more local and regional scales, themes which have been insufficiently studied to date. This volume fills this gap in the literature by combining historical, economic and geographical perspectives to consider the implications of the Anthropocene for economic development in Asia and Africa."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$zAfrica 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$zAsia 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects$zDeveloping countries 606 $aHuman ecology$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aHuman ecology$zAsia$xHistory 606 $2General & world history 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aHuman ecology$xHistory. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xHistory. 676 $a338.90091724 702 $aAustin$b Gareth 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511489403321 996 $aEconomic development and environmental history in the Anthropocene$92551307 997 $aUNINA
