Sommario/riassunto

This volume brings together the best of T. C. Smout's recent articles and contributions to books and journals on the topic of environmental



history and offers them as a collection of 'explorations'. The author's interests are multi-faceted and, though often focussed on post-1600 Scotland, by no means restricted to that area.
