Reviews
'In this masterful overview of history and the French landscape, Peter McPhee reveals the complex interconnections between nature, agriculture, political events, and climate change. It is a powerful illustration of the pressing need for governments to intervene to protect both the natural landscape and the environment.' - Philip Dwyer, Professor, University of Newcastle, Australia, "Magisterial in scope and insight, An Environmental History of France is a thrilling successor to Fernand Braudel's illustrious Identity of France. The culmination of a long career spent exploring France's history from the ground up, the book presents the country's most dramatic moments of ecological change through Prof. McPhee's signature blend of engaging detail and lucid analysis." -- Kieko Matteson, Associate Professor, University of Hawai'i, USA "This original book enables us to see the landscape of France with new eyes, revealing its hidden history. McPhee shows us how past mingles with present to shape the French countryside." -- Marisa Linton, Professor Emerita in History, Kingston University, UK "Remarkable in its breadth and historical depth, McPhee's book explores changes in the French landscape over the past 250 years, while deftly assessing the ways in which landscapes in different parts of the country were invested with contested symbolic meanings by those who inhabited it. With his vast and intimate knowledge of French history and topography, there is no historian who could be a better guide on this fascinating journey to discover how the wetlands, hillsides, vineyards and forests of France came to be what they are today." --Caroline Ford, Professor of History, University of California, USA, "Magisterial in scope and insight, An Environmental History of France is a thrilling successor to Fernand Braudel's illustrious Identity of France. The culmination of a long career spent exploring France's history from the ground up, the book presents the country's most dramatic moments of ecological change through Prof. McPhee's signature blend of engaging detail and lucid analysis." -- Kieko Matteson, Associate Professor, University of Hawai'i, USA "This original book enables us to see the landscape of France with new eyes, revealing its hidden history.

Synopsis
The French countryside is as beloved by the many millions of tourists who visit it each year as it is by French people themselves. But it has not always looked like it does today. An Environmental History of France instead presents the countryside in which people live and work and through which they travel as a human creation across 250 years of economic and cultural change, war and revolution. It is a book about the 'making' of the French landscape and an engrossing story linking human geography, history, agriculture and culture. From the aristocratic control of agrarian resources in the 1770s to widespread mechanization in the 19th century, through to the impact of the world wars and an intriguing discussion about the uncertain future of French rural communities, Peter McPhee provides a nuanced, detailed and absorbing history of a landscape that is essential both to the country's identity and its current ecological challenges., The French countryside is as beloved by the many millions of tourists who visit it each year as it is of French people themselves. But it has not always looked like it does today. An Environmental History of France instead presents the countryside in which people live and work and through which they travel as a human creation across 250 years of economic and cultural change, war and revolution. It is a book about the 'making' of the French landscape and an engrossing story linking human geography, history, agriculture and culture. Showing an awareness of the origins and nature of current ecological and social challenges, Peter McPhee uses a blend of environmental and cultural approaches to paint a vivid picture of rural France's modern history. From the aristocratic control of agrarian resources in the 1770s, to widespread mechanisation in the 19th century, through to the impact of the World Wars and an intriguing discussion about the uncertain future of French rural communities, McPhee provides a nuanced, detailed and absorbing account of a distinctive version of France that is essential to the country's identity.
