Acronyms & Influences
Thanks to contributions from several colleagues, the Online Bibliography on Environmental History of Latin America has now almost one thousand references, among articles, books, videos and WebPages in English, Spanish and Portuguese. These references were gathered from the Forest History Society's online bibliography (an absolutely incredible source), suggestions from H-ASEH and H-LATAM subscribers, co-editors John Wirth (in memorian) and José Augusto Drummond, and bibliographic research in academic journals such as the American Historical Review and Environmental History Review, besides a number of databases.
Most references have been double-checked with at least two sources to make sure they were accurate and pertinent, though we have adopted a rather broad definition for environmental history. We have included some (not many!) classic works by Crosby, Sauer, Buarque de Holanda, Ciro Cardoso. However we have focused rather on recent works (last 15 years), that would not be easily found in traditional bibliographies. We have included short reviews for books and movies, whenever they were available. In some cases, there is a link to the H-Net electronic reviews.
