<P>Human-induced damage to the environment has widespread consequences for Earth and its inhabitants that have already included sea level rise, increased wildlife extinctions, heatwaves, droughts, intensified air pollution, and water shortages. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the complex interactions between people and the environment. It presents three clear, honest, and down-to-earth essays that cover the devastating impact humans have on the environment; the equally devastating impact the environment has on humans; and the positive impact that increasing awareness of our effect on the planet is having on the movement to create a more sustainable future. Includes entries on 60 key environmental geography terms, such as deforestation, ecotourism, and environmental justice; 15 real-world case studies on topics like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and the Great Green Wall of Africa; and 10 brief spotlights from around the world providing the reader with relevant facts.</P>
