Choice

'As with many of the volumes in this series "Themes in World History", this one will undoubtedly become an important contribution to the field of world environmental history.'

Anthony N. Penna, Comparativ

'Meticulously researched, it is sure to provide even the hardened environmental historian with some new case study, some unexpected interpretive slant or some grim statistic to mull over. Brief though it is, this is surely one of the best histories of the environment currently available.'
