This approach illustrates multifaceted ecological change with scientific clarity and aesthetic appeal in equal measure. Nature itself charts the course, with chapters devoted to atmosphere, water, land, wildlife, and urban ecology. Buma tells a larger story about what drives environmental change, outlining the historical developments behind each topic and detailing their current state and possible future.
