Global Change and Challenge: Geography for the 1990's

,
Revolutionary changes to our world economy and its impact on the environment are presenting large problems for human society. "Global Change and Challenge" examines some of the crucial challenges facing society in the 1990s and how geography can contribute to their understanding and management. Using the theme of how societies adapt to change, the contributors deal with some of the issues confronting modern geography in three broad groups. The early chapters examine the impact of human activity on the environment in a global context - looking in particular at the management of resources and of the natural environment. The book then examines from a variety of perspectives how global economic change offers both new constraints and new opportunities for economic development at all levels: local, regional and global. The shifting patterns of social and economic change are examined with respect to the industrialized, newly industrialized, and Third World countries at both national and regional levels. The final chapter assesses how new technology can influence the geographer's perspective and aid in the search for management solutions. This book should be of interest to lecturers and first year students of geography and environmental studies.
