Environmental history should be of great interest to anyone concerned with our present global environmental dilemmas.

An analysis of natural phenomena and events and their impact on human societies is also included.

This important new work belongs in any collection serving world history, ecology, environmental studies, geography or environmental science programs.
From 'acid rain' to 'zoos', the Encyclopedia of Environmental History attempts to chronicle the human impact upon the 'natural' world (and vice versa) from prehistory to the present. It does this through hundreds of entries, ranging from geographical regions to animals and plants, environmental problems, and prominent figures in the history of environmental conservation. This collection will be a valuable first stop for undergraduate and graduate cultural ecology and physical geography research projects. The entries are concise, usually between one and five pages, and each concludes with a 'further reading' section.
