All week long, we spotlighted books and series that explore how human history and the natural world are deeply intertwined. 🌎

🌱 Environmental history explores how humans and nature have shaped each other over time — from ecosystems to empires.

At Leiden University Press, this field comes alive through interdisciplinary research connecting history, ecology, and society.

Start exploring with series like:

⚔️ War & Environment 
🌴 Environmental Governance
⚖️ Environmental Justice 
🫐 Holocene Histories 
🐫 Middle East Environmental Histories 

These works examine biodiversity, climate, and human impact across time and space.

👉 Why it matters: understanding the past helps us navigate today’s environmental crises.

We highlighted research that deepens our understanding of the past and its relevance to the present.
