He details the major trends, ideas, campaigns and thinkers within the environmental movement worldwide. Among the thinkers he profiles are John Muir, Mahatma Gandhi, Rachel Carson, and Octavia Hill; among the movements, the Chipko Andolan and the German Greens.

Environmentalism: A Global History documents the flow of ideas across cultures, the ways in which the environmental movement in one country has been invigorated or transformed by infusions from outside. It interprets the different directions taken by different national traditions, and also explains why in certain contexts (such as the former Socialist Bloc) the green movement is marked only by its absence.

Massive in scope but pointed in analysis, written with passion and verve, this book presents a comprehensive account of a significant social movement of our times, and will be of wide interest both within and outside the academy. For this new edition, the author has added a fresh prologue linking the book’s themes to ongoing debates on climate change and the environmental impacts of global economic development.  a Environment - Social Welfare - India  aEnvironment - Society - India  aRamachandra Guha  cRBK  c68695d68695  00102ddc4070aSNULbSNULd2026-06-04eDonated by Prof. Romila Thaparg0.00l0o364.49 GUHpG8272r2026-06-04 11:04:29w2026-06-04yRBKzDonated by Prof. Romila Thapar
