            Abstract
            Never before in history was the interaction between people and their natural environment as complex and problematic as it is today. A proliferation of scientific research has yielded valuable insights into various aspects of this interaction from the angle of many disciplines - the natural sciences, the social sciences, archaeology and history, ecological studies. The diversity of approaches has created a need for synthesis, for a study that transcends the boundaries of traditional fields of study. In this volume, authors from various academic backgrounds discuss the relations between human society and its physical environment in the course of history, highlighting a number of significant periods, throughout the world. The last chapter assesses our present situation and prospects for the future in the light of theoretical reflections based on the evidence from the past.
             
            Nooit eerder in de geschiedenis was de interactie tussen de mens en zijn natuurlijke omgeving zo complex en problematisch als vandaag de dag. De explosieve groei van wetenschappelijk onderzoek heeft waardevolle inzichten opgeleverd over de meest uiteenlopende aspecten van deze wisselwerking: zo zijn de mens en de natuur bestudeerd vanuit de optiek van de natuurwetenschappen, de sociale wetenschappen, archeologie, geschiedenis en ecologie. Door deze enorme verscheidenheid aan inzichten is er een een behoefte aan synthese ontstaan, aan een onderzoek dat buiten de traditionele gebaande studie-paden gaat. In dit boek wordt door auteurs met verschillende wetenschappelijke achtergronden een discussie gevoerd over de relatie tussen de menselijke samenleving en zijn fysieke omgeving. Vanuit historisch perspectief wordt een aantal veelbetekendende periodes over de gehele wereld besproken. Het laatste hoofdstuk gaat in op onze huidige situatie en de vooruitzichten voor de toekomst aan de hand van theoretische reflecties gebaseerd op de lessen van het verleden
