Joachim Radkau is Associate Professor of History at Universitat Bielefeld in Germany. His books include Deutsche Industrie und Politik von Bismarck bis zur Gegenwart (1974). Holz: Ein Naturstoff in der Technikgeschichte (in collaboration with Ingrid Schafer, 1987), Das Zeitalter der Nervositat: Deutschland zwischen Bismarck und Hitler (1998), and the biography of Max Weber, Die Leidenschaft des Denkens (2005).
This book aims to demonstrate that the changing relationship between humanity and nature is key to understanding world history. Humans have been grappling with environmental problems since prehistoric times, and the environmental unsustainability of human practices has often been a decisive, if not immediately evident, shaping factor in history. The measures that societies and states have adopted to stabilize the relationship between humans and the natural world have repeatedly contributed to environmental crises over the course of history. Nature and Power traces the expanding scope of environmental action: from initiatives undertaken by individual villages and cities, environmental policy has become a global concern. Efforts to steer human use of nature and natural resources have become complicated, as Nature and Power shows, by particularities of culture and by the vagaries of human nature itself. Environmental history, the author argues, is ultimately the history of human hopes and fears.

評分讀瞭絕大部分章節,很長見識,驅使作者寫作的動力似乎很多時候是反駁經典理論或者打破一些成見,時時堅持著overdetermination和contextualization的原則。比如Wittfogel的hydraulic society/Asian Despotism被放在許多語境裏詳細檢查被證明相當reductive;Geertz對於爪哇梯田農業係統的推崇被帶入環境角度檢查被證明難以在其他地方復製,等等等等。最後一章講50年代以來的(單一)現代性全球擴散、環保運動興起(科學、精神、經濟三個角度)、全球化影響(環保問題國際化、第三世界國傢的旅遊和環保、環保主義和冷戰/後冷戰曆史大勢如社會主義/國族主義衰落的互動等等),讀起來很有大曆史的氣魄。
評分語言太難瞭啊啊啊。德國人的傲慢和nationalism真的好明顯。
