| Tamara Whited has filled a frustrating gap in the literature with this fine textbook. Until now, environmental historians developing courses in world or European environmental history lacked one succinct introduction to the key issues and problems of the region. Lecturers, graduate students, and even the best undergraduates will find this installment in ABC-CLIO's Nature and Human Societies series to be an informative reference work. All the basic elements for a semester course on European environmental history can be found here; even better for researchers and lecture-writers, the authors have provided a glossary, a very useful bibliographic essay, and a timeline of key events. |
