The Environmental Humanities are a dynamic international research field, which is gaining attention in the German-speaking world as well. They offer a transdisciplinary framework for bringing together the environmental knowledge of the humanities and social sciences in order to assess and communicate their contribution to the ecological transformation of society. The volume features essays from a broad spectrum of disciplines including history, human geography, literary and cultural studies, philosophy, sociology, communication science and economics. It illuminates the ethical, political, cultural, social, literary and artistic dimensions of the relationship between humanity and the environment, which are indispensable for our understanding of the historical roots and contemporary challenges of the ecological crisis as well as for the development of sustainable perspectives for the future.
