Environmental History explores the relationships between human communities and the natural world. It presumes the centrality of nature to human affairs, whether in the context of daily life, the development of social and political structures, or the creation of artistic, religious, and philosophical traditions. It sheds light on how societies have navigated changing environmental conditions due to climate change; air, soil, and water pollution; species extinction; or altered resource availability because of economic exploitation or violent conflict. Environmental History is inherently interdisciplinary. It incorporates theoretical frameworks and data from Anthropology, Geography, Public Policy, and Sociology, as well as Astronomy, Chemistry, Ecology, Environmental Science, and Geology, among others. Oxford Bibliographies in Environmental History gathers classic and contemporary scholarship into one convenient place to serve a wide readership across these historical fields and disciplinary boundaries. The project strives for inclusiveness not only in its subject matter but also in its authorship, bringing unique perspectives to a field long dominated by a single demographic.
