Environmental history

Environmental history is the study of man and nature and their past interrelationships.

Environmental historians base their understanding of human and nature relations primarily on historical methodology, but often borrow from the work of scientists and scholars in fields outside of history. As a result, many scholarly contributions pertinant to environmental history are written by scholars who typically would not identify themselves as historians.
