For students of environmental history and for general readers high-school age and older, this reference focuses on the region between Asia and the Americas, detailing how the diverse natural environment has intertwined with human migration and habitation over time. In his introduction Garden (history and philosophy of science, U. of Melbourne) carefully defines the geographical and cultural dimensions of the region. Following are chapters devoted, respectively, to the land, sea, and forests; Australia and New Zealand between 1901-2001; contemporary concerns; and case studies of Rapa Nui, Hawai'i, and Queensland. The book includes documents, a timeline, a bibliographic essay, and a section composed of brief encyclopedic entries describing various places not treated elsewhere in the book and discussing issues such as global warming and nuclear testing.
