This scholarly work examines the relationship between human activity and soil erosion on a global scale. Authored by Neboit, it presents an interdisciplinary analysis grounded in geography and environmental science, exploring how anthropogenic factors accelerate land degradation processes. Published by Presses Universitaires Blaise Pascal, the book synthesizes field observations, theoretical models, and regional case studies to illustrate patterns of erosion across diverse ecosystems. It addresses both natural geomorphological processes and the intensification of these processes due to agriculture, deforestation, urbanization, and climate variability. The text serves as a foundational resource for researchers and students in earth sciences, offering a comprehensive overview of erosion dynamics while emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable land management practices in the face of growing environmental pressures.
