"The relatively young but rapidly expanding field of formal environmental history
informs us ever more about vital patterns of interactions among humans, other living
beings, and the material world. Climate change, species extinction, unequally distributed
and overstrained essential resources (including clean air, energy, food, land, and
water), and other of today's pressing issues can only be understood and mitigated
by understanding the many centuries of dynamic changes that caused them. The Indian
subcontinent has a distinctively complex environmental history that makes it particularly
vulnerable to current environmental stresses"
