Oral History and the Environment Format: Hardback

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.

Stephen M. Sloan is the Director of the Institute for Oral History and Associate Professor of History at Baylor University.

Mark Cave is Senior Historian with the Historic New Orleans Collection. Sloan and Cave are the editors of Listening on the Edge: Oral History in the Aftermath of Crisis, winner of the Oral History Association book prize.
