"o intense. It's an easy to read, interesting and sometimes terrifying book that lays out the history of human development and how it's interacted with the environment. It makes you understand a little better how dramatic the difference between 1st world and 3rd world is and that society as we know it IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. There needs to be some serious change."
"I am right in the middle of this really fascinating book on the history of how people have impacted the environment though agriculture, population, industrialism etc. It is so incredibly interesting and mind boggling. I am really enjoying reading it. I probably will move it up to a 5 star when I am finished. This is required reading for an environmental sociology class I am in this term. The author is my professor and he actually has quite a few published books on this subject. He is incredibly intelligent and it is really interesting to listen to his lectures. This topic cannot be emphasized enough and I am loving taking a class on it."
"Excellent Professor at the Univ. of Oregon (Sociology Dept) - took his class on Environmental Sociology, read & discussed his book; if you're interested in environmental issues, its a good one to read and short :)"
