by Kirill Y. Kondratyev (Author), Kim S. Losev (Author), Maria D. Ananicheva (Author)
This book shows how human activity on local, regional and global scales has perturbed natural biogeochemical cycles, "colliding" with Nature. They consider the likelihood of increasing numbers of natural disasters as a result of such activities, and propose that sustainable development become a principal research topic for the 21st Century.
