 | Concepts of Urban-Environmental History In history, cities and nature are often treated as two separate fields of research. »Concepts of Urban-Environmental History« aims to bridge this gap. The contributions to this volume survey major concepts and key issues which have shaped recent debates in the field. They address unresolved questions and future challenges. As a handbook, the collection offers a comprehensive overview for researchers and students, both from a historical and an interdisciplinary background. Sebastian Haumann is professor for economic, social and environmental history at Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg (Austria). With a study on the history of limestone as an industrial resource, he received his habilitation at Technische Universität Darmstadt and has continued to work on the broader field of substance history. |
