Geografía e Historia Ambiental

Environmental History is an emerging field that, like other hybrid disciplines, gains notoriety in the necessary search for methodological approaches and processes that contribute to a less partial approach to the problems of environmental deterioration. Due to its objectives, based on the inquiry regarding ecological and territorial changes and society-nature relations analyzed in retrospect, it has attracted the attention of researchers from different areas of knowledge.

The authors of this book consider that our conceptual and operational knowledge is largely in Geography, since it gives us a rich conceptual and methodological background regarding the visualization of the "hinge" of society.nature relations, the trans-scalar understanding of biophysical factors and power relations, and the observation of the dynamics of location, connectivity, expansion and contraction, to mention some of the multiple spatial possibilities that it offers us.
