Writing India’s environmental history is not easy. The country’s territorial vastness, geographical complexity, and unusual biodiversity make the task difficult. Relatively few scholars have shown the historical range and intellectual depth required to tackle the area compellingly and with sophistication.
Mahesh Rangarajan is among the foremost scholars in this field. The papers and books he has written or edited over more than two decades have helped craft and enlarge Indian environmental thought as a whole. They have established his reputation as a stimulating and wide-ranging historian-thinker in the discipline.
The present collection comprises ten essays showcasing the core of Rangarajan’s thought and interventions. They include comparisons of the subcontinent with the world beyond, most specially with societies in Asia and Africa once under Western domination. They also include studies of specific historical conjunctures under regimes such as those of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, Jomo Kenyatta and Julius Nyerere.
Environmental shifts and continuities in a massive Asian society and polity are the central focus of this book. It discusses events and processes to show how specific environmental changes happened. It discusses the global ecological dimensions of Indian transformations. Economy and ecology, state-making and identity, nature and nation converge and cohere to make this a book for every thinking person.

 Historians and Nature: Comparative Approaches to Environmental History Related PapersUrsula Lehmkuhl  Timo Myllyntaus Entremons Journal of World History Sarah Hamilton Winfried Schenk History and Theory A Field on Fire: The Future of Environmental History Scholars using quantitative and spatial methods have revisited some of the foundational texts in environmental history over the past decade, demonstrating that new technologies permit scholars to revisit some of the pivotal interpretative questions that helped to establish the field. This essay investigates the new opportunities as well as the perils that historical Geographic Information Systems (HGIS) present for environmental historians, and examines the ways in which scholars have crafted and redirected historical questions using new techniques in the spatial humanities. This essay explores the impact of scientific knowledge, and more specifically, HGIS, on reshaping our ideas about historical contingency and the use of evidence in environmental history, focusing on the ways data sets and digital technologies now permit a dramatically different approach to historical investigations. Environmental historians have been using HGIS in order to assess the long-term effects of agricultural policy and land use change on a range of landscapes, as well as to survey urban and marine regions with an eye to addressing new questions about development and sustainability. This essay evaluates the role of spatial studies in environmental history, examining the new types of data that recent technological developments have made usable for scholars in the humanities. Rethinking History Esa Ruuskanen Transstellar Journals TJPRC Publication Over the centuries, historians and scientists around the globe have targeted intensively on getting to know and recording the micro and macro developments of the environmental records of numerous geographical areas, cultures on the subject of several components of nature that contain people. Yet, no exact methodology, epistemology or even theory has encompassed from those research contributions, which had been and are being performed inside disciplinary and on occasion interdisciplinary frameworks. However what it gave upward push to is a transdisciplinary research approach, at the least as practiced with the aid of using historians. This article discusses the 4 sides of the transdisciplinary research approach on international environmental records namely, 'nature, interdisciplinarity, way of life forging, and go boundaries' accompanied with the aid of using 3 case research on Easter Island, Mesopotamia and Petra, highlighting the interaction between each of these facets and their influence over the history of that geographical area. It is likewise anticipated that this dialogue will invigorate the mind on studies cooperation with the social sciences and humanities, in addition to collaboration with non-associated sciences in environmental records. Anne Eriksen In his text, Kragh gives a brief but very informative overview of the idea that nature itself is historical, i.e. subject to change over time. He includes a discussion on whether even the natural laws themselves may be changing in this way, and ends by asking if nature is âtruly historicalâ in the same way as human societies are. He answers in the negative. One of the arguments he uses is that while a historian can think back in time and identify with the historical actors, the scientist cannot in the same way imagine being a dinosaur or a molecule.

Imperial representations laid the ground for the epistemological transformations of the so-called Scientific Revolutions. The patriotic narratives lie at the core of the first modern representations of the racialized body, Humboldtian theories of biodistribution, and views of the landscape as a historical text representing different layers of historical memory.
