Some resulting impacts are readily expected, but others are less easily anticipated and all affect global environmental change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe task of Volume Three of the Encyclopedia is to look at and analyse the interactions, feedbacks and causes from a holistic viewpoint and report upon some of the key aspects of human knowledge that are required for an integrated science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoverage includes:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHuman disturbance of the Earth system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlobal land cover and land use\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlobal population trends\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrends in global emissions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWater use: Future trends, and environmental and social impacts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRice and its spread\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental change and human health\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental changes driven by civil conflict and war\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-08-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780470853627\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 300.00cm x350.00cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 784\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384281591948,"sku":"9780470853627","price":1294.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470853627.jpg?v=1778082927","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470853627","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
