Welcome

Environmental History is the world’s leading scholarly journal in environmental history and the journal of record in the field. Published four times a year by the University of Chicago Press on behalf of the American Society for Environmental History and the Forest History Society, the journal brings together scholars and practitioners from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences to explore the changing relationships between humans and the environment over time.

 

Current issue

The January 2024 issue features Sarah Elkind’s Presidential Address on scholarship vs. teaching, Stephen Pyne’s Reflection on “third nature,” and a Gallery essay on pre-Smokey-Bear posters. Research articles discuss zoo procurers, Greenpeace in Argentina, the Maginot Line, urban landslides, and Shanghai soot. Plus the ever popular book reviews and New Scholarship.

See the issue’s table of contents for more information.


 

Please note: Change to book review process

Books to be reviewed are now handled by the Environmental History book review editor. Publishers and authors who want their books reviewed will no longer send copies to the Forest History Society but instead directly to the book review editor. See our Submit page for details.

 

Upcoming articles

Articles accepted for future issues of Environmental History are available as Ahead of Print from the University of Chicago Press.
