Sustainability or Collapse?
An Integrated History and Future of People on Earth
By Robert Costenze ….et al.
Specialization in science is now increasing tremendously in
response to the advances achieved in technology and methodology.
Even though it is positive in many respects, it creates barriers
between disciplines which will hinder progress. Interdisciplinary
approach is essential to have a broader view of an issue, for
problems rarely fall conveniently into the water tight compartment of
a single scientific area. MGU has planned the Library and
Information Science Research Centre with such a view and this book
will be of interest in all subject areas for it deals with interdisciplinary
communication and innovative problem solving which can be
adapted in any sphere of human activity. Human history, as written
traditionally, leaves out the important ecological and climate context
of historical events. But the capability to integrate the history of
human beings with the natural history of the Earth now exists, and
we are finding that human-environmental systems are intimately
linked in ways we are only beginning to appreciate. In Sustainability
or Collapse?, researchers from a range of scholarly disciplines
develop an integrated human and environmental history over
millennial, centennial, and decadal time scales and make projections
for the future. The contributors focus on the human-environment
interactions that have shaped historical forces since ancient times
and discuss such key methodological issues as data quality. Topics
highlighted include the political ecology of the Mayans; the effect of
climate on the Roman Empire; the "revolutionary weather" of El Niño
from 1788 to 1795; twentieth-century social, economic, and political
forces in environmental change; scenarios for the future; and the
accuracy of such past forecasts as the limits to growth .
