Series Statement: Routledge environmental humanities

Content: "The museum sector has a moral obligation to use its collections and exhibitions and other events to explore some of the inequalities wrought by global warming. The book tackles the broad global issue of climate change through specific collections and in local places. It reflects the Pacific community at its core, but also embraces many other communities who will experience the adverse effects of climate change sooner or later. The book is rich with practical museum experience and detail, as well as critical, analytical and philosophical about where a museum can intervene to speak to this great conundrum of our times"...Provided by publisher

Content: "The idea of "the environment" was a planet-changing idea, making the planet visible in a wholly new way. The Environment: A History tells the story of the emergence of this idea. It is an intellectual and scientific history of the idea of the environment as a centripetal force in historical debates about climate change and the fate of the planet. According to the authors, our contemporary notion of the environment as a planet-wide web of interconnection and consequence of which the natural world is a part was forged by post-World War scientific experts. This book is about the imagination, the history, and the creativity of these experts, as well as their technical and diplomatic skills, and how well ordinary people have understood these and contributed to framing environmental concerns. The environment provided a concept that linked changes close to home to world-wide pressures. And in creating an object of imagination and measurement, it allowed new kinds of questions about nature and human responsibilities to be asked. Is the world sick? Is the Environment getting worse or better? In addition to creating a particular way of looking at our world it also created a movement and various kinds of knowledge and expertise"...

Content: This anthology provides an historical overview of the scientific ideas behind environmental prediction and how, as predictions about environmental change have been taken more seriously and widely, they have affected politics, policy, and public perception. Through an array of texts and commentaries that examine the themes of progress, population, environment, biodiversity and sustainability from a global perspective, it explores the meaning of the future in the twenty-first century. Providing access and reference points to the origins and development of key disciplines and methods, it will encourage policy makers, professionals, and students to reflect on the roots of their own theories and practices.
