Biology Of Civilisation: Understanding Human Culture As A Force In Nature
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Biology of Civilisation looks at the complex interrelationships between human culture and the natural environment, covering the entire period from the beginning of agriculture to the present. Through this biohistorical survey, Boyden concludes that a major transformation of the world's current dominant culture to an ecologically sustainable and equitable society is necessary for the long-term survival of civilization, and suggests measures that can be taken right now to facilitate this transformation.
