Use and Misuse of Nature´s Resources. An Environmental History of Sweden

Here is the book that, for the first time, provides a coherent picture of Sweden’s environmental history, from hunting with Stone Age weapons to emissions trading. Use and Misuse of Nature’s Resources describes not only changes in the natural environment but also the forces that have propelled them - human progress, money and politics. Numerous photographs, maps and diagrams make this a vivid read, with a wealth of facts and new knowledge to learn. The book is part of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s Monitor series. Text: Claes Bernes and Lars J. Lundgren.
