Perhaps Malthus was too late and too early in his prediction?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was too late, because he did not foresee the shift from land-based resources to fossil fuels, outing an end to the limits of agricultural growth, at least temporarily; and he was too early to witness that fossil fuels would come up against their own limits in terms of supply as well as in terms of global warming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study deals with land-based resources and the role they play in the global socio-ecological metabolic regime, both now and in the future. In particular, the controversial use of agrofuels as a solution to coming scarcity is subjected to close scrutiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Hermele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415858348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415858342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Kenneth Hermele","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621732954367,"sku":"9780415858342","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-appropriation-of-ecological-space-kenneth-hermele-9780415858342","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
