Managing for Sustainability in Preindustrial Europe, 1100–1800
Edited by Abigail Dowling and Richard Keyser
Considering a variety of preindustrial European settings, this book assembles case studies from the medieval and early modern eras to demonstrate that practices like those advocated by modern conservationists were far more widespread and intentional than is widely acknowledged. As the first book-length treatment of the subject,
Conservation’s Roots
provides broad social, historical, and environmental context for the emergence of the nineteenth-century conservation movement.

A Critical History of Forest Conservation in Sierra Leone
Paul Munro
Melding the approaches of environmental history and political ecology,
Colonial Seeds in African Soil
unravels the complex ways this dynamic played out in twentieth-century colonial Sierra Leone. While giving careful attention to topics such as forest reservation and exploitation, the volume moves beyond conservation practices and discourses, attending to the overlapping social, economic, and political contexts that have shaped approaches to forest management over time.

Agents of Risk and Change, 1800-2000
Edited by Ernst Homburg and Elisabeth Vaupel
Covering a host of both notorious and little-known chemicals, the chapters in this collection investigate the emergence of specific toxic, pathogenic, carcinogenic, and ecologically harmful chemicals as well as the scientific, cultural and legislative responses they have prompted. Each study situates chemical hazards in a long-term and transnational framework and demonstrates the importance of considering both the natural and the social contexts in which their histories have unfolded.

Vol. 13
Edited by John Soluri, Claudia Leal, and José Augusto Pádua
“
Taken together, the 13 essays that compose this volume provide an excellent introduction to the current state of modern Latin America’s environmental history. The volume admirably achieves both major goals established by the editors: to provide a synthesis of recent works in the field and to expose some of the seams and unresolved tensions in the practice of Latin American and Caribbean environmental history.

Stalin's Plan for the Transformation of Nature and its Impact in Eastern Europe
Edited by Doubravka Olšáková
“
This is a necessary book… the first monograph dedicated entirely to how [Stalin’s parallel] plans played out in the ‘people’s democracies’ of Eastern Europe during Stalin’s lifetime and beyond… Olsakova’s work is thus a significant addition to extant literature on environmental history and the twentieth century history of Eastern Europe.

Heritage, Historical Culture and Identity in Regions Undergoing Structural Economic Transformation
Edited by Stefan Berger
In regions in which previously dominant industries faced crises or have disappeared altogether, industrial heritage offers a fascinating window into the phenomenon’s cultural dimensions. As the contributions to this volume demonstrate, even as forms of industrial heritage provide anchors of identity for local populations, their meanings remain deeply contested, as both radical and conservative varieties of nostalgia intermingle with critical approaches and straightforward apologias for a past that was often full of pain, exploitation and struggle.
