Document Summary
Nature isn"t linear there are things that interfere with succession (i. e. , mining, paving, volcanoes); climax is the top level (fully grown trees) Environmental geography bridging the human and environmental domains (whatever the environment is) Overall, we must understand the differentiations of the environment" and nature" and attend to the different ways these phenomenon enter into the social life. Forms of environmentalism are always politically loaded, carrying different values, representing different interests and have distinct ecological and social consequence: movements around taking action (making a change) Starts with philosophy ideas and then taking actions (movement is the idea and coming together to embrace the idea that something needs to change) Harold mackinder (1887) argues that geography can bridge one of the greatest gaps : namely separating the natural sciences and the study of humanity : whole of geography is nature and humans the interactions between the two.
