Críticas:

'We gain, overall, an impression of a scholar, not a tourist, who has presented a coherent story which is also good to read ... [an] admirable and intellectually adventurous book.' - The Holocene

'This reviewer enthusiastically appplauds Hughes's interpretive work on human history from an ecological perspective.' - The Historian

Reseña del editor:

An Environmental History of the World is a concise history, from Ancient to Modern times, of the interaction between human societies and the other forms of life that inhabit our planet. This original work follows a chronological path through the history of mankind, in relationship to ecosystems around the world. Each chapter concentrates on a general period in human history which has been characterised by large scale changes in the relationship of human societies to the biosphere, and gives three case-studies that illustrate the significant patterns occurring at that time. Little environmental or historical knowledge is assumed from the reader in this introduction to environmental history.
