Professor Jan Oosthoek at the University of Edinburgh has maintained a webpresence since 1999, and his most recent website was relaunched in March2008. The purpose of the site is to provide a range of resources andinformation on environmental history for the general public and scholars.Some of these resources include topical bibliographies, essays, annotatedguides to other web resources, and a news feed. Visitors who click on the"Bibliography" area will find links to detailed thematic bibliographies thatcover El Nino, climate history, Scottish forest history, and other topics.Moving on, the "Essays" area contains twelve different essays, including"The role of wood in world history", "What is environmental history?", and"Dutch river defences in historical perspective". The "Podcast" area is a real treat, and features interviews and discussions about topics such asurban air pollution in historical perspective and the environmental legacyof apartheid in South Africa.
