Abstract The emergence of the environmental humanities presents a unique opportunity for scholarship to tackle human dimensions crisis. It might finally allow such work attain critical mass it needs break out customary disciplinary confines and reach wider public, at time when natural scientists have begun acknowledge that an understanding crisis must include insights from social sciences. In order realize this potential, scholars in need map common ground on which close interdisciplinary...
Abstract Aim Anthropogenic introductions of Australian Acacia spp. that become classed as alien invasive species have consequences besides the physical, spatial and ecological: there are also cultural, ethical political considerations demand attention from scholars in humanities social sciences. As practitioners these disciplines, our aim is to reflect upon some conceptual ideas attitudes relating spread around world. We therefore provide a longer‐term historical philosophical perspective...
Abstract In 2000, Paul Crutzen proposed that the Earth had entered a new geological epoch, Anthropocene, where humanity is changing planetary systems. Since this time, Anthropocene has figured prominently (and controversially) in global change science, and increasingly humanities. The offers way to regard humanity, provides locus for discourse of our times. This short reflective paper suggests role history understanding different expertise favoured manage Earth's resources change. discussion...
Abstract The concept of the ‘shifting baseline syndrome’ has assisted researchers in understanding how expectations for health environment deteriorate, despite known, often widespread, and significant impacts from human activities. been used to demonstrate that more accurate assessment historical ecosystem decline can be achieved by balancing contemporary perceptions with other sorts evidence, is now widely referred studies assessing environmental change. potential this as a model examining...
Abstract Global history has become the business of more than just historians. This paper explores scientific historiography, particularly a recent initiative Change community to write an Integrated History and future Of People on Earth (IHOPE). A new geological epoch, Anthropocene, been declared, reflecting fact that anthropogenic change is now shaping planetary systems. Describing changes system over time demands understanding biophysical factors, human factors their integration. While...

The task of reconceptualizing planetary change for the human imagination calls on a wide range disciplinary wisdom. Environmental studies were guided by natural sciences in 1960s, and 1970s broadened to include policy social sciences. By 1990s, with global environmental changes well‐documented, various humanist initiatives emerged, expanding idea ethics, responsibility justice within transdisciplinary mode studies. Shared problems, places, scales form basis collaborative work humanities,...
This anthology provides an historical overview of the scientific ideas behind environmental prediction and how, as predictions about change have been taken more seriously widely, they affected politics, policy, public perception. Through array texts commentaries that examine themes progress, population, environment, biodiversity sustainability from a global perspective, it explores meaning future in twenty-first century. Providing access reference points to origins development key...

The idea of biodiversity has often changed or developed in response to crisis alarm. New developments seemingly control the crisis, and they also entrench particular expertise. This paper presents a historical view development conservation biology, 'science crisis'. Biodiversity from crises science, practical management challenges political activism, all contribute shaping concept as it plays out global change science 21st century. Ecology, 'fundamental' underpinning concept, is necessary,...
