Exploring Environmental History: Selected Essays

摘要

That environmental history is a broad interdisciplinary subject is illustrated by this collection of essays, which comprises conference and seminar papers, plus occasional lectures and book chapters by the social and economic historian turned environmental historian T. C. Smout. The focus is on environmental change in Britain, especially Scotland, since 1600, so readers with wide temporal interests will be disappointed given the absence of prehistoric effects, when the transformation of wildscapes into landscapes began.
