New water histories of Schistosomiasis in China
Nature at War
This anthology is the first sustained examination of American involvement in World War II through an environmental lens. World War II was a total and global war that involved the extraction, processing, and use of vast quantities of natural resources. The wartime military-industrial complex, the 'Arsenal of Democracy,' experienced tremendous economic growth and technological development, employing resources at a higher intensity than ever before.…
Nature at War
All Shook Up
The Soviet Union is infamous for its environmental disasters, but it is less well known for its seismic history. When we think of earthquakes, places like San Francisco, Kanto, Sumatra, Lisbon, New Madrid, Mexico City, and Lima jump more readily to mind. Yet, the Soviet Union (and tsarist Russia before it) was among the most seismically active (and seismically transformative) countries in the world—especially in the mountainous, multi-ethnic bord…

At the Watershed
In August 1958, one of the most visible and dynamic environmental protection movements in Soviet history exploded onto the public stage. In an effort to shield Lake Baikal and its surroundings from the effects of an aggressive industrial development campaign in eastern Siberia, the proponents of Baikal alerted the Soviet public and its leadership to the threats of such economic agendas to the natural world. This article tells the story of the fir…

This article explores the history of fishing on Lake Baikal in an effort to understand the fish-human nexus, to expand our understandings of the Russian relationship to the environment before the twentieth century, and to think about the colonial encounter in Siberia from an environmental angle. Fishing has long been a crucial, life-sustaining, and culturally important component of life at Baikal; and fish and people have long existed in mutually…
Michael A. REYNOLDS. Shattering Empires
Scholars have long endeavored to understand the history of empires: their formation and governance; the forces, identities, and personalities that hold them together and generate some form of loyalty; the various strategies that imperial elites have used to manage social, ethnic, and religious difference; and especially the question of how empires end. In this marvelous book, Michael A. Reynolds offers a new and highly persuasive exploration of t…

Caught in the Crossfire? Russian Sectarians in the Caucasian Theater of War, 1853–56 and 1877–78
Caught in the Crossfire? Russian Sectarians in the Caucasian Theater of War, 1853–56 and 1877–78 Nicholas B. Breyfogle (bio) In his memoir of 1910, Fedor Aksenovich Rylkov relates how the outbreak of the Crimean war unleashed terrible difficulties on the village of Orlovka. Settled in the 1840s by exiled Russian Dukhobors, this small community was located in the Russian empire's Transcaucasian region, only a short distance from the Ottoman border…
