Autor J.A. Chapman, S.A. all at The Open University Drury, R.C.L. Wilsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 1999
One of the most dramatic aspects of humanity's rise is that it coincided with the beginnings of major environmental changes and a mass extinction that has the pace, and maybe magnitude, of those in the far-off past that stemmed from climate, geological and occasionally extraterrestrial events. This book reveals that anthropogenic effects on the world are not merely modern matters but date back perhaps a million years or more.
