Ce livre présente les thèmes centraux de l'histoire environnementale. Parmi ceux-ci : l'appropriation de la nature et la maîtrise technique de celle-ci, dont l'envers est l'histoire de la pollution et de la dégradation des milieux naturels ; les interactions climat/société, par exemple l'effet de l'extraction coloniale des ressources ou, plus généralement, celui des inégalités de richesse et de puissance à l'échelle mondiale, jusqu'à l'impact des guerres sur l'environnement.L'analyse porte sur les dynamiques socioécologiques au cœur de phénomènes historiques aussi cruciaux que le mouvement de colonisation du globe par les puissances occidentales (XVe-XXe siècle), la guerre froide, ou la révolution industrielle. L'histoire environnementale propose un nouveau regard sur les défis du temps présent, comme sur l'histoire longue de nos sociétés : ce Repères en dresse pour la première fois un panorama synthétique et raisonné.

The book presents the results of a conference at the DFG Graduate College on "Interdiscipline History of Ecology" held in December, 2008. Nature has always been a definite factor for man as well as for societies, and in spite of many attempts to expand his sphere man has had to submit to nature in the face of catastrophes or the limitations of resources. The book comprises scientific and cultural history articles on mediaeval and modern ages, reflecting in a broad spectrum the topic nature as a borderland.

A collection of papers, articles, and essays written in the past decade by the well-known German environmental historian. The essays compiled here ultimately owe all to the author's long-standing effort to secure environmental history in science as a place for interdisciplinary discussions. As a cross-section of his environmental history work in recent years, they document part of the author's publication activity. It naturally has its focus on biological issues, but from here it always also addresses a general environmental history perspective.

What is common between the representations of the Terena Indians of Mato Grosso do Sul, the sacred space in Shi'i Islam, the Brotherhood of Good Death in Bahia, the celebrations in honor of São João Batista, the representations of Sertanejo Brasil, the homoerotic representations and territorialities and naturists? Answering this question is not a simple matter, but the answer lies in the idea that the representations of space and the space of representations are plural and diverse, requiring other perspectives to interpret the complexity of the world.

Facets of Social Geography: International and Indian Perspectives provides a breadth of information on the nature, scope, history and evolution of social geography along with a good representation of approaches and techniques used in this field. It discusses both conceptual and empirical approaches, and traditional and emergent social geography themes including art and culture, urbanism and crime, social institutions of caste, class and religion, gender, disability, activism, feminism, social planning, enterprise zones, social and economic inequities, post-colonialism, post-modernism and development of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods.
