ResumoScholar are looking to the past to inform their concerns for the future of the human environment There are basic questions to be asked about how much history is relevant in an age of technological power, just as there are questions about the limits to the use of that power. Much work has concentrated on the empirical evidence for past environmental change; although histories of ideas also exist, putting the two together has been attempted only infrequently. Yet the way in which culture in all its variability has enabled human-led environmental change to take place (literally as well as figuratively) suggests that technology and culture form an interactive system of the kind described as self-organizing.
