Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is about the devastation from floods, rivers, and mountain torrents in Provence, France from ancient to modern times. The author takes readers from the 16th century to modern times, describing the conditions of soil in the area and the main torrent-causing meteorological events that have occurred over the centuries. Beginning with a foundation in the geography and climate of the region, the book explains how and why the issue of erosion became so severe, and how efforts in reforestation helped to alleviate the issue over time. Throughout the work, the reader will come to understand not only the geographical and environmental challenges of this region, but will also appreciate the tremendous role that human activity plays in the fight against soil erosion and flooding.
