This book presents a new analytical framework and several newly developed quantitative methods to investigate the interactions between climatic, ecological, and socioeconomic factors as a total socioenvironmental system (TSES).
Dr. Yichun Xie is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Geology at Eastern Michigan University.
