This book provides a pathway for the New Coastal History. Our
littorals are all too often the setting for climate change and the
political, refugee and migration crises that blight our age. Yet
historians have continued, in large part, to ignore the space
between the sea and the land. Through a range of conceptual and
thematic chapters, this book remedies that. Scotland, a country
where one is never more than fifty miles from saltwater, provides a
platform as regards the majority of chapters, in accounting for and
supporting the clusters of scholarship that have begun to gather
around the coast. The book presents a new approach that is distinct
from both terrestrial and maritime history, and which helps bring
environmental history to the shore. Its cross-disciplinary
perspectives will be of appeal to scholars and students in those
fields, as well as in the environmental humanities, coastal
archaeology, human geography and anthropology.
