Exploring the remarkable connections between all aspects of the physical world and human life, this book discusses how numerous forces - geographical, political, sociological and economic - shape our surroundings and way of life. Its topics range from the contents of supermarket shelves to the quality of the air we breathe, from tribal conflicts in Africa to the design of motor cars. And it can argue that mankind's landscaping is often a great improvement on raw nature, whilst fully acknowledging the threats to the future of the planet.
