Environmental history is no longer new. Neither, of course, is the notion of environmental crisis. But they are bound together. It might be said, in fact, that historians’ interest in the environment as a legitimate and urgent subject for historical study only crystallized as a field when the deteriorating state of the environment became an issue of public concern in the 1970s. Thus, if environmental historians are not solely interested in dramatic and often cataclysmic change, they surely have been alert to the ways in which human history has been marked, often disastrously, by profound alterations in our natural world
