This work shows how historians, geographers and philosophers have invoked nature in its various manifestations - climate, topography, vegetation, wildlife and disease - as a dynamic force in human history. In particular, it shows how ideas of geographical and biological determinism have played a major part in social, historical and geographical theory and explanation, and just how problematic this invocation of nature can be.
