Description

Revealed Biodiversity: An Economic History of the Human Impact aims to show that for a few centuries environmental conditions have been substantially the product of economic fluctuations. It contests the notion of perpetual decline in species composition. The arguments are supported by way more precise historical detail than is usual in books about ecology. The want to take the gains to human society into account when assessing environmental change is strongly emphasized. The book features case studies including England, the Netherlands, USA, East Asia, Brazil, and the areas of up to date agricultural ‘land seize’.

This book is vital for its close attention to the documented historical record of environmental change in a few countries over a few centuries; for its demonstration of how much natural world populations have been influenced by fluctuations in market activity; for revealing the want to be sensitive to historical baselines; and for emphasizing the imperative of taking the gains to human society into account when assessing environmental change. It, subsequently, has considerable significance for environmental and conservation policies in addition to for future studies in ecological history.

Readership: Students, academics (including economic/environmental historians, ecologists, historical geographers) or general readers keen on environmental history or economic history.
