Through an array of texts and commentaries that examine the themes of progress, population, environment, biodiversity and sustainability from a global perspective, it explores the meaning of the future in the twenty-first century. Providing access and reference points to the origins and development of key disciplines and methods, it will encourage policy makers, professionals, and students to reflect on the roots of their own theories and practices. 606 $aGlobal environmental change 606 $aOverpopulation 606 $aClimatic changes 615 0$aGlobal environmental change. 615 0$aOverpopulation. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 676 $a304.2 701 $aRobin$b Libby$f1956-$01481959 701 $aSo?rlin$b Sverker$01162591 701 $aWarde$b Paul$0323134 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790663503321 996 $aThe future of nature$93793951 997 $aUNINA
