Future Weather
This chapter draws on empirical research from an AHRC-funded project entitled Spaces of Experience and Horizons of Expectation: Extreme Weather in the UK, Past, Present and Future, to illustrate the complex historical geographies and politics of 'weather wising' and different forms of weather prognostications. Endfield considers the different ways in which particular historical subjects imagined and articulated knowledge about weather futures and…
“Snow Scenes”
Scholars are increasingly focusing on the cultural dimensions of climate, addressing how individuals construct their understanding of climate through local weather. Research often focuses on the importance of widespread conceptualizations of mundane everyday weather, although attention has also been paid to extreme weather events and their potential effect on popular understandings of local climate. This paper introduces the “Snow Scenes” project…
Greetings from the new Editor
It is with great pleasure that I introduce Volume 2.3 of The Anthropocene Review, my first having taken over as Editor from Professor Frank Oldfield earlier this year. I first wish to thank Frank.

Reculturing and Particularizing Climate Discourses
During the last three decades, popular discourses of climate have been replaced by a global and scientific metanarrative focusing on climate change and global warming. Recent climate scholarship has thus highlighted the need for a reexamination of the idea of climate and its culturally and spatially variable dimensions, though anxieties over the reemergence of climatic determinism in a number of high-profile publications have compounded a relucta…
Through marsh and mountain
This paper employs the letters, journals and books written by representatives of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) – charged with establishing a mission to Uganda – to explore the ways in which missionary discourses were framed by, and contributed to, contemporary debates over tropical acclimatization and healthiness of place. Attention first focuses on the degree to which advice produced for and by pioneering missionaries travelling to Uganda …
Estrategias para el control del agua en Oaxaca colonial
El resultado del proceso colonizador sobre la propiedad y el uso del agua en el valle central de Oaxaca culminó, como en otros sitios de México, en el acaparamiento de los beneficios del líquido vital por parte de los colonos españoles. Si las prerrogativas emanadas de la conquista permitieron que la mitad de la tierra quedara en manos de los antiguos cacicazgos y del marqués del Valle, restringiendo la ocupación de la tierra a los colonos y enco…
