Its appropriation by humans through diversion of its biogeochemical cycle has been a mainstay of development. This domestication is characterized by a number of thresholds: control of fire, development of agriculture, expansion of Europe, fossil-fuel use and biotechnology. All have exacted an environmental toll, not least being climatic change and biodiversity loss. Carbon management now and in the future is a 'hot' political issue. There is no existing book which focuses on the pivotal role of carbon in the environment and society and the ways in which carbon has been domesticated in time and space to generate wealth and political advantage. Students of environmental science, geography, biology and general science will find this work invaluable as a cross-disciplinary text. 0aENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. 0aCHEMISTRY, ORGANIC. 0aGEOGRAPHY. 0aECOLOGY. 0aENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT.14aENVIRONMENT.24aENVIRONMENT, GENERAL.24aORGANIC CHEMISTRY.24aEARTH SCIENCES, GENERAL.24aGEOGRAPHY (GENERAL).24aECOLOGY.24aENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978140203956040uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-3958-1zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY  aZDB-2-EES  2ddccER  c36601d36601  00102ddc40708LEaCICYbCICYcELd2025-10-06l0o333.7r2025-10-06 08:45:02w2025-10-06yER
