Abstract

Book Reviews environment was just as significant in historical development as the migration of people and settlers. Hughes concluded that there were modern threats to a conformable future for both the living and nonliving planet--global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, and loss of oxygenation capacities within oceans --which must be controlled and contained. A changing environment was a dynamic in the historical record as it is in current, everyday life. Any excellent future histories of the world on a global scale need to include coverage of and attention to ecological and environmental change through time. Best of all, states Hughes: "What teachers of the subject must demand is a world history that adopts ecological process as its organizing principle" (p. 12). History must not be seen as humans and resources but as humans interacting in their natural world that includes resources and ecosystems. They are inseparable and interdependent. barbara bennett peterson Oregon State University Mapping Time: The Calendar and Its History. By e. g. r i c h a r d s .
