How Did Medieval Europeans Use And Change Their Environments, Think About The Natural World, And Try To Handle The Natural Forces Affecting Their Lives? This Groundbreaking Environmental History Examines Medieval Relationships With The Natural World From The Perspective Of Social Ecology, Viewing Human Society As A Hybrid Of The Cultural And The Natural.

Revealing The Role Of Natural Forces In Events Previously Seen As Purely Human, The Book Explores Issues Including The Treatment Of Animals, The 'tragedy Of The Commons,' Agricultural Clearances And Agrarian Economies. By Introducing Medieval History In The Context Of Social Ecology, It Brings The Natural World Into Historiography As An Agent And Object Of History Itself-- Introduction: Thinking About Medieval Europeans In Their Natural World -- Long No Wilderness -- Intersecting Instabilities : Culture And Nature At Medieval Beginnings, C. 400-900
