1 Human Ecology and Sustainable Development Course number U9240 Fall 2005 Mondays & Wednesdays 10:00 AM 11:50 AM International Affairs Building 1302 Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs Office: Low Library 314 Office Hours: by appointment only (Heidi Kleedtke ) Teaching Associate Nori Tarui Office: B-15 Hogan Hall ( ) Office Hours: To be announced This course will meet once a week in lecture, and once a week in section. Course Description This course describes the interactions between physical ecology and economic development, and stresses the two-way interactions between the physical environment and economic development. Ecological constraints (climate, disease ecology, physical resources such as soils and energy sources, topography and transport conditions) significantly shape the patterns of economic development, demography, and wealth and poverty. At the same time, anthropogenic activities (farming, resource depletion, demographic stresses, energy use) change the physical environment. The course aims to give a rigorous treatment of this two-way interaction, building on a rigorous foundation of earth systems processes to understand the ecological bases of human settlement. Evaluation and Grading There will be one midterm exam, a final exam, and two problem sets. The course grade will be based on: Main Texts Midterm: 30% Problem Sets 20% Final Exam 50% *Jared Diamond, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, W.W.Norton & Co., *Angus Maddison, The World Economy: A Millennial Perspective, OECD, *J.
