The Unending Frontier: An Environmental History of the Early Modern World Volume 1

by John F. Richards

Book Overview

It was the age of exploration, the age of empire and conquest, and human beings were extending their reach--and their numbers--as never before.

A sweeping work of environmental history, The Unending Frontier offers a truly global perspective on the profound impact of humanity on the natural world in the early modern period.
