The Human Footprint: A Global Environmental History integrates the fields of big history and environmental history, beginning with the evolution of our planet and its life forms and ending with the present climate crisis. Its approach is multidisciplinary, drawing on recent research in geology, climatology, archaeology, anthropology, and history. Each chapter contains a single theme, ranging from the global environmental impact of agriculture and urbanization to manufacturing, industrialization, and consumption.
