Yet historians are only beginning to understand how people's use of the land, extraction of its resources, and attempts to conserve it have shaped both the landscape and its inhabitants. "A Land Between Waters "explores the relationship between the people and the environment in Mexico. It heralds the arrival of environmental history as a major area of study within the field of Mexican history. This volume brings together a dozen original works of environmental history by some of the foremost experts in Mexican environmental history from both the United States and Mexico. The contributions collected in this seminal volume explore a wide array of topics, from the era of independence to the present day. Together they examine how humans have used, abused, and attended to nature in Mexico over more than two hundred years. Written in clear, accessible prose, "A Land Between Waters "showcases the breadth of Mexican environmental history in a way that defines the key topics in the field and suggests avenues for subsequent work. Most importantly, it assesses the impacts of environmental changes that Mexico has faced in the past with an eye to informing national debates about the challenges that the nation will face in the future. 410 0$aLatin American landscapes. 606 $aLandscape changes$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmental degradation$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aPolitical ecology$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zMexico$xHistory 607 $aMexico$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aMexico$xHistory$y1810- 607 $aMexico$xPolitics and government$y1810- 615 0$aLandscape changes$xHistory. 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on$xHistory. 615 0$aEnvironmental degradation$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical ecology$xHistory. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xHistory. 676 $a304.20972 701 $aBoyer$b Christopher R$g(Christopher Robert)$01478242 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967083503321 996 $aLand between waters$94477380 997 $aUNINA
