First published in 1864, Marsh's ominous warnings inspired environmental conservation and reform. By linking culture with nature, science with history, "Man and Nature" was the most influential text of its time next to Darwin's "On the Origin of Species."

The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown Dependency located in the Irish Sea between England, Scotland, and Ireland. It covers an area of 221 square miles and has a population of approximately 84,000 people. The island has a rich history and culture, with evidence of settlement dating back to the Neolithic period. It has its own government, laws, and currency, but it is also a member of the British Isles custom union and the European Union for the purpose of trade in goods. The economy of the Isle of Man is largely based on offshore finance, with many international businesses choosing to establish a presence on the island due to its favorable tax laws and business-friendly environment. The Isle of Man is also known for its stunning natural beauty, with rugged coastline, rolling hills, and sandy beaches. It has a temperate climate, with mild winters and cool summers, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The island is popular for activities such as hiking, cycling, and water sports, and it also hosts a range of annual events and festivals that attract visitors from around the world. Despite its small size, the Isle of Man has a unique identity and a thriving community, and it offers a wealth of opportunities for those looking to explore or make a home on the island.

This book, drawing on wide experience of the Isle of Man, describes, interprets and explains the features that make the Island’s physical and human landscapes so distinctive and give it a unique sense of place. Although the editors have taken a strongly geographical approach to their theme, the book is unparalleled in writings on the Isle of Man in the broad range of contributions it has assembled: geology, quaternary science, geomorphology, archaeology, history, natural history, political science, demography, social policy and economics. The book definitively reviews current geographical knowledge relating to the Isle of Man, bringing together hitherto fragmented, scattered and inaccessible work. Particular emphasis is placed upon the way in which geographers are returning to their intellectual roots with a renewed focus on both the distinctiveness and sense of place. By helping readers to understand the processes that formed, and continue to change, the Isle of Man’s unique physical and human landscapes, this book aims both to inform and to enhance enjoyment of the Island.

This volume provides a fascinating account of the natural forces which shaped the Island's landscape from its formation some 500 million years ago to the present nature of the Manx environment and landscape. The story of the island's colonisation by plants and animals sets the scene for the later volumes which deal with the impact of man's arrival. A key element of the volume is an in depth examination of the contemporary landscape, with an appraisal of how the environment has affected man and how man has affected the environment.

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around you Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.
