History

A new entry in the Longman World History Series, Environmentalism: A Global History is perfect for professors who want to assign short topical paperbacks which explore global issues and movements in their world history classes. This volume will fit into the second half of World History courses which typically cover the period from 1500 to the present century.

Environmentalism: A Global History is the first genuinely global history of environmentalism. Written by one of the foremost thinkers on ecological issues relating to South Africa, Guha has become one of the more provocative and perceptive commentators on environmentalism in its cross-cultural and global dimensions. Students will find this new text to be a lively and engaging study of ideas and debates that are central to our lives in the twentieth-first century.

• Concise, without compromising cogency, Environmentalism is an ideal length and is written in a style that makes it suitable for a survey course supplemental reading. It examines problems from a variety of perspectives without confusing the reader.
• Written by a pioneering historian, this text offers a cross-cultural and global survey of environmental thinking and the movements it has spawned.
• Guha identifies the commonalties and differences in environmental thinking and activism through case studies drawn from the experience of areas as diverse as the United States, the former Soviet Union, China, India, Africa, and Brazil - providing their strengths as well as their contributions.
