The history of environmental history

Probing the past to better understand the present and prepare for an uncertain future. I think it’s fair to say that no field of history has grown more swiftly—in quantity or sophistication—in the 21st century than environmental history. The reason is, I suspect, self-evident: it’s in part a scholarly response to global warming, biodiversity loss, volatile and extreme weather events, and climate change–related diseases.
