In Memoriam
The Plantation Carbon Complex
In recent years, scholars working across the humanities and social sciences have suggested that agricultural land use emissions from early modern enslaved labor plantations may have played an important role in the origins of anthropogenic, or human-induced, climate change. Yet historians of slavery and the early modern Atlantic world have been slow to engage with this argument. Focusing on the major enslaved-grown export commodities of the coloni…
The Underground Railroad and the Geography of Violence in Antebellum America
Robert Churchill has written an important book, though it might be better subtitled “The Geography of Violence in the Antebellum White North.” His book certainly includes the Black experience along the Underground Railroad, in the 1840s and 1850s, but it has little to say directly about the antebellum South, and the Black experience is not at the center of his analysis. His book is primarily about the geography of while cultures of violence that …

Roundtable
The following exchange was the result of ongoing informal conversations among the contributors, who are all, in different ways, interested in the emergent concept of the Anthropocene and the challenges it posed, and the opportunities it provided, for historians working on Britain and the world. The conversation began at the end of 2015 and continued for about a year
Anya Zilberstein. A Temperate Empire
Why would anyone emigrate to North America in the seventeenth century? Anya Zilberstein complicates our understanding in A Temperate Empire: Making Climate Change in Early America, a short exploration of contemporary debates regarding the nature of North American climate and the question of how European and African peoples would adapt to life in the Americas. Though not without some issues, A Temperate Empire is a useful contribution to our knowl…
The Birth of the Anthropocene by Jeremy Davies
The problem of the Anthropocene has hit the academy like a wave, as scholars far beyond the hard sciences are coming to grips with the implications that humanity is not just leaving a polluting mark on the earth but altering the very workings of the earth system. Davies has written an excellent commentary, which will serve both committed scholars and early undergraduates equally well.The Anthropocene, defined by the point at which the agency of h…
Malthus and the North Atlantic Oscillation
Subsequent to Harper’s review essay centered on Brooke’s Climate Change and the Course of Global History: A Rough Journey, Brooke concedes that he could have focused more attention on the problem of the Malthusian trap. He stresses, nevertheless, that his reservations regarding the concept of Malthusian crises in pre-industrial societies are well placed, given the concept’s prominence in the large-scale environmental histories written during the …

Climate Change and the Course of Global History
Climate Change and the Course of Global History presents the first global study by a historian to fully integrate the earth-system approach of the new climate science with the material history of humanity. Part I argues that geological, environmental, and climatic history explain the pattern and pace of biological and human evolution. Part II explores the environmental circumstances of the rise of agriculture and the state in the Early and Mid-Ho…

The Refiner's Fire
This 1995 book presents an alternative and comprehensive understanding of the roots of Mormon religion, which proposes that the faithful will become gods. The book's central thesis is that the origins of Mormonism lie in the fusion of radical religion with magical ideas about recovering the divine powers of Adam lost in the fall from Paradise (ideas known as the hermetic philosophy) that occurred during the Reformation and the English Revolution.…
Revolution in the Green Mountains
National historiographical fashions powerfully shape the histories of states and localities; that of revolutionary Vermont provides only one excellent example. The historians of early Vermont can be very broadly divided into celebrators, revisionists, and social historians. From the age of Bancroft through the 1940s, the celebrationists-Zadock Thompson, Rowland Robinson, Frederic Van de Water-lovingly glorified the heroism of stalwart pioneers an…
