Global Life Systems: Population, Food, and Disease in the Process of Globalization

by Robert P. Clark

Robert P. Clark develops in this book a global life systems perspective that delineates how biological forces mutually reinforce one another-and what their globalization has meant for both human society and the biosphere. While he resists biological 'determinism, ' Clark traces interconnected developments among population, disease, agriculture, trade, fuels, and other life systems to more thoroughly explore and elucidate the globalization of human endeavors within an ever evolving context of nature and environment.
