The object of the present volume is: to indicate the character and, approximately, the extent of the changes produced by human action in the physical conditions of the globe we inhabit; to point out the dangers of imprudence and the necessity of caution in all operations which, on a large scale, interfere with the spontaneous arrangements of the organic or the inorganic world; to suggest the possibility and the importance of the restoration of disturbed harmonies and the material improvement of waste and exhausted regions; and, incidentally, to illustrate the doctrine that man is, in both kind and degree, a power of a higher order than any of the other forms of animated life, which, like him, are nourished at the table of bounteous nature. In the rudest stages of life, man depends upon spontaneous animal and vegetable growth for food and clothing, and his consumption of such products consequently diminishes the numerical abundance of the species which serve his uses. At more advanced periods, he protects and propagates certain esculent vegetables and certain fowls and quadrupeds, and, at the same time, wars upon rival organisms which prey upon these objects of his care or obstruct the increase of their numbers. Hence the action of man upon the organic world tends to derange its original balances, and while it reduces the numbers of some species, or even extirpates them altogether, it multiplies other forms of animal and vegetable life.

Man and Nature: Or Physical Geography as Modified by Human Action is a book written by George Perkins Marsh and published in 1864. The book is a comprehensive study of the impact of human activities on the natural world, particularly in the context of physical geography. Marsh argues that human beings have the power to significantly alter the natural environment, and that this power comes with great responsibility. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the ways in which human activities have affected the physical geography of the earth, including the impact of agriculture, deforestation, and mining. Marsh also discusses the effects of climate change and the depletion of natural resources. The second part of the book focuses on the moral and ethical implications of human actions on the natural world. Marsh argues that humans have a duty to protect the environment and that failure to do so will have dire consequences for future generations. Man and Nature was a groundbreaking work in the field of environmental studies, and it has had a lasting impact on the way people think about the relationship between humans and the natural world. Marsh's ideas about conservation and sustainability continue to be influential today, and the book remains an important resource for anyone interested in environmental issues.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1864 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
