Zusammenfassung: This volume explores the environmental history of islands and their role in shaping human history. By examining fourteen diverse case studies, it highlights how islands have been used as penal colonies, atomic test sites, tourist destinations, and more. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding an island's physical environment--its geology, climate, flora, and fauna--in shaping its historical roles. Edited by environmental historians Milica Prokić and Pavla Šimková, the work challenges traditional perspectives and offers new insights into the dynamic interplay between islands and human endeavors over timePPN: PPN: 1916210511Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
