  • The Vortex

    Paul S SutterARTICLEAgricultural History2025

    For the past decade, I have taught an introductory undergraduate course on the environmental history of the modern world. Built on critical historical engagement with the concept of the Anthropocene, the course attempts to make sense of how and why humans—or specific groups of humans—have had such powerful and accelerating impacts on the more-than-human world over the past half millennium. The course has been a challenge to teach. Trained as a US…

  • Sulphuric Utopias

    Sulphuric Utopias is a rich and multidimensional history of technological efforts to control diseases of commerce during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Cowritten by a historian of medicine and a medical anthropologist, the book examines how fumigation machines—particularly the Clayton machine—emerged as technological magic bullets that promised to end costly and unpopular quarantine regimes. Lukas Engelmann and Christos Lynter…

    Open AccessPaul S SutterARTICLEModern Intellectual History2020Referências: 1

    At its birth, American environmental history had strong connections with intellectual history. Books such as Roderick Nash's Wilderness and the American Mind and Donald Worster's Nature's Economy made the rise of preservationist and ecological thinking central to the field's early identity. But during the last several decades, as intellectual historians have engaged in their own soul-searching, American environmental historians retreated from eng…

    A CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE Restores China’s place in forest history The disappearance of China’s naturally occurring forests is one of the most significant environmental shifts in the country’s history, one often blamed on imperial demand for lumber.

    A "conservative environmental tradition" in America may sound like a contradiction in terms, but as Brian Allen Drake shows in Loving Nature, Fearing the State , right-leaning politicians and activists have shaped American environmental consciousness since the environmental movement's beginnings. In this wide-ranging history, Drake explores the tensions inherent in balancing an ideology dedicated to limiting the power of government with a commitm…

Entomological workers were critical to mosquito control efforts aimed at the reduction of tropical fevers such as malaria. But in the process of studying vector mosquitoes, they discovered that many of the conditions that produced mosquitoes were not intrinsic to tropical nature per se but resulted …
