A COMPANION TO GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY
Equips both specialists and newcomers with the historical, intellectual, and political context for engagement with the environment
Providing multiple points of entry into a dynamic, fast-growing field, A Companion to Global Environmental History explores the many contours of the relationship between human societies and the natural world on which they depend. Bringing together essays by an international roster of both established experts and emerging scholars, this volume covers a uniquely broad range of temporal, geographic, thematic, and contextual approaches to the practice of global environmental history.
Thirty-three detailed chapters describe how the relationship between society and nature has changed over time, examine the various drivers of change and environmental transformations, survey different types of environmental thought and action around the world, and more.
Now in its second edition, the Companion is fully revised to reflect major research developments and new trajectories within the field. Updated chapters that present new evidence for longstanding debates and innovative applications of environmental history are accompanied by six entirely new chapters on India, China, Africa, early modern cities, global environmental governance, and European environmentalism.
Offering fresh insights into environmental thought, culture, policy, and politics, A Companion to Global Environmental History, Second Edition, is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students and an invaluable reference for scholars, researchers, and environmental historians.
