Beschreibung:
Uncover the groundbreaking insights of George Perkins Marsh in 'Man and Nature; Or, Physical Geography as Modified by Human Action'. Published in the mid-19th century, Marsh's visionary work challenges the prevailing belief that the Earth is invulnerable to human actions. Drawing parallels to ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean, he reveals how environmental degradation led to their downfall and warns of similar trends in the United States. Marsh's influential book sparked a conservation revolution, inspiring the creation of protected areas like Adirondack Park and the United States National Forest.
