What is The Firth of Forth : an environmental history about?

A rare portrait of one of Scotlands major firths, this book shows how man has interacted with the environment throughout thousands of years. Combining a rich wildlife with a history of long and intense human activity around the estuary's shores and in its waters, this captivating exploration of the Firth of Forth considers a wide range of questions, including:How have people affected and exploited the wildlife, and how, in turn, has it determined the lives of people? What changes to the biodiversity of the firth have taken place as a result of human interference? Why has pollution been easier to control than over-fishing? and What role has conservation had in bringing about changes?
