There is a notable dearth of environmental histories of Mexico despite the country's complex and dynamic history of human interactions with non-human nature. This book, the first edited collection of essays in English on the environmental history of modern Mexico, brings together recent cutting-edge work. -- American Historical Review

A Land Between Waters is most compelling in its explicit attempt to cross divides. . . . It offers a model for working across barriers of region, language, methodology, and conceptual focus rather than within them. -- Historical Geography

"""A diverse collection of case studies on human-environment interactions in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Mexico that should be of broad interest to environmental historians, historical geographers, and specialists on Mexico alike.""--Journal of Historical Geography ""A Land Between Waters is most compelling in its explicit attempt to cross divides. . . . It offers a model for working across barriers of region, language, methodology, and conceptual focus rather than within them.""--Historical Geography ""A landmark study . . . [that] will set a standard for studies in Mexican environmental history and serve as a point of departure for further studies.""--Evan Ward, author of Border Oasis: Water and the Political Ecology of the Colorado River Delta, 1940-1975"
