Environmental History is one of the most exciting and rapidly
expanding new areas of historical study, and draws upon a wide
range of disciplines for its insights and themes. Nature's End
provides fifteen essays from historians, geographers,
anthropologists and natural scientists on key themes and methods in
the field, that address both those new to environmental history and
seasoned practitioners. These studies illustrate the diversity of
approaches to historic relationships between humans and their
environments, but throughout the book connect these to core
narratives in more traditional history: the role of the state and
institutions, the importance of intellectual fashions and politics,
and the role of the sciences and history itself, as well as the
importance of ecology, and thinking about conservation, risk and
human destiny.
