Global Environmental History introduces this rapidly developing
field through a broad and thought-provoking range of expert
contributions.
Environmental history is a subject especially suited to global
and transnational approaches and, over the course of the present
generation, an increasing number of scholars have taken up the
challenge that it presents. The collection begins with a series of
chapters offering truly global visions; they range from reflections
on the role of animals in environmental history to an overview of
environmental change over the past ten millennia.
Part Two switches to a sharper focus, featuring essays that
characterize the distinctiveness of certain key regions such as
China, Russia, West Africa, South Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
The final part of the book examines different forms of modern
environmentalism, ranging from the U.S. and its fascination with
wilderness, to Japanese concern with human health, and on to Peru
and India, where the environmental debate centres on access to
resources.
Global Environmental History will be an essential resource for
students of Environmental History and Global History.
