A unique introduction to how understanding archaeology can support modern-day sustainability efforts, from restoring forested land to developing fire management strategies An essential and hopeful book for climate-conscious readers The world faces an uncertain future with the rise of climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, overfishing, and other threats.
