“This broad-ranging and ambitious book, edited by J.R. McNeill and Erin Stewart Mauldin, sees the welcome convergence of two fertile historiographical trends of the past several decades: globalism and environmentalism. . . Nevertheless, the editors have produced a volume of a consistently high standard, with all the essays of good quality.” (English Historical Review, 1 August 2014)
“In 28 chapters, the book provides a broad introduction that is aimed at historians with an interest in striking topics and issues as well as at environmental history researchers wishing to widen or deepen their knowledge.” (H-Soz-u-Kult, June 2014)
"There is much in this book that will be of interest to environmentalists, geographers and politicians, and the general public. Environmental historians should find this a useful overview of their topic." (Reference Reviews, Vol. 28 no. 1, 2014)
"Those whose interest is world environmental history will find this book a pleasure to read from cover to cover, and the bibliographies are current and extensive." (Choice, September 2013)
