Nature And Power ) by Joachim Radkau
A Global History of the Environment
A global history of environmental politics that traces how societies from ancient empires to the present have organized the use of forests, water, soils, and energy, and how political power has both exploited and regulated nature while being constrained by ecological limits. Through comparative case studies, it challenges deterministic narratives, showing the coevolution of technology, governance, and environmental thought across regions and eras. It culminates in the rise of modern environmentalism and ongoing debates over risk, sustainability, and the impacts of industrialization and globalization.
