This broad–ranging and ambitious book, edited by J.R. McNeill and Erin Stewart Mauldin, sees the welcome convergence of two fertile historiographical trends of the past several decades: globalism and environmentalism. . . Nevertheless, the editors have produced a volume of a consistently high standard, with all the essays of good quality. (English Historical Review, 1 August 2014)
In 28 chapters, the book provides a broad introduction that is aimed at historians with an interest in striking topics and issues as well as at environmental history researchers wishing to widen or deepen their knowledge. (H–Soz–u–Kult, June 2014)
"There is much in this book that will be of interest to environmentalists, geographers and politicians, and the general public. Environmental historians should find this a useful overview of their topic." (Reference Reviews, Vol. 28 no. 1, 2014)
"Those whose interest is world environmental history will find this book a pleasure to read from cover to cover, and the bibliographies are current and extensive." (Choice, September 2013)
