Summary
Robert Delort, Francois Walter: A History of the European Environment
Swiss historians of French education, professors at the University of Geneva wrote this work that can be spiritually integrated into any European national tradition. The value of the work lies mainly in its conception and structure. It encourages critical thinking about the controversial traditions of European valuation - in the speculative and practical sense - of nature and, in particular, of the human environment, from three fundamental points of view: a) the history of the human environment, b) space in time: variations and variability, and c) the anthropization of the human environment in European history. The focus of their conclusion is on the thesis about the "endangered planet", which this scientific work communicates with critical environmental awareness in its sociocultural and sociopolitical contexts. The work is a very suggestive proof of the indistinguishability of the European identity from the European ecosystem, of course, in a planetary context. With this translation of the university handbook - a synthetic study on environmental history, systematic higher education teaching in ecohistory becomes possible in Croatia.
