Reviews
Its an enormously valuable teaching and research resource for the practitioner of environmental history ... It will also be an asset for those coming to the field of environmental history. Professor Peter Coates, Reviews in History The Oxford Handbook of Environmental History is a job well done ... Andrew C. Isenberg and Oxford University Press are due credit for collecting an impressive group of authors to tackle a variety of issues pertinent to environmental history ... The authors tasked to write these essays are equally impressive and diverse. Martin V. Melosi, American Historical Review
