Document Summary
Ilst 2655 - global geography: concepts and key words. Human activity over nature is justified: sebastian munster (1489 1552), cosmographia uni . Human activity is a positive contribution: georges-louis leclerc, conte de buffon. Human activity over nature is destructive: george perkins marsh, man and nature. Physical environment offers possibilities : paul vidal de la blache, possibilism. Settlement of the world: the movement of humans--the search for food promoted constant movement. Ecological imperialism: the movement of plants occurred on an ever-increasing scale as the core of the world-system extended its grasp into the periphery. The introduction of flora into new ecosystems often disturbed the subtle balances of nature. Industrialization: there are three consequences; discovery and utilization of fossil fuels, depletion of fish stocks and species. Technology: aggregation of knowledge, influence, arts, skills and socio-cultural contexts. Exam note: the right answer will jump at you, if you study.
