The Forest History Society is pleased to announce an important milestone: its Environmental History Bibliography database has reached 40,000 entries!

The Environmental History Bibliography is the only active resource of its kind in this diverse and rapidly expanding field, which covers human-environment interaction in all corners of the Earth, from the time of its earliest inhabitants to the present day. Nearly 1,500 citations are added each year, with recent additions appearing quarterly in the “Biblioscope” section of the journal Environmental History (http://www.foresthistory.org/Publications/EH/index.html).

Continually updated and searchable online by title, author and keyword (place, time period or topic), the database contains annotated citations to books, articles, theses and dissertations on topics as varied as global climate change; urban environments; the history of sound and noise; sustainable development; public health; food production; fisheries; environmental justice; pollution; and nature as depicted in art, film and literature.
