Oral History and the Environment: Global Perspectives on Climate, Connection, and Catastrophe brings together interviews with a global range of environmental activists, farmers, water system managers, victims of environmental catastrophe, tribal trustees, wilderness rangers, reindeer herders, and foresters, whose life experience gives them special insights into human-environmental interaction and adaption. Commentary by oral historians examines how these stories can be used to better understand our relationship with the natural world.
