I suppose many readers of this book appreciate that it is short, but I wished it had been a bit longer. As an introduction to the history of environmentalism, this book covers a lot of ground, very quickly. Unless one is just reading this book as a springboard for further study or to look up specific dates for a research paper, reading this book is a bit mind-numbing and exhausting, all at once. Still, for a textbook, this was a decent book. It just annoys me buying books for classes that are not really readable, so I wish this one had a bit more context and better storytelling to make the presented facts more digestible and engaging. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A new entry in the Longman World History Series, Environmentalism: A Global History is perfect for professors who want to assign short topical paperbacks which explore global issues and movements in their world history classes. This volume will fit into the second half of World History courses which typically cover the period from 1500 to the present century. Environmentalism: A Global History is the first genuinely global history of environmentalism. Written by one of the foremost thinkers on ecological issues relating to South Africa, Guha has become one of the more provocative and perceptive commentators on environmentalism in its cross-cultural and global dimensions. Students will find this new text to be a lively and engaging study of ideas and debates that are central to our lives in the twentieth-first century. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Mr. Guha writes engagingly. For someone like me, who is reading many books on the environment these days, he provides an entirely new perspective. I like this.
The book explores the influences people have had on each other and has demonstrated how these influences have grown collectively.
I would ask him to update the book. In 2020, we have many global leaders who deny climate change and challenge the science without any facts. I ask him to update the book and analyze how events of the last few years will change the world we live in. ( )
