Where Men No More May Reap or Sow by Richard D Oram

Where Men No More May Reap or Sow by Richard D Oram

Drawing together the evidence of archaeology, palaeoecology, climate history and the historical record, this first environmental history of Scotland explores the interaction of human populations with the land, waters, forests and wildlife. This volume covers the period from 14001850.

'Oram has given us a new perspective not just on Scotland's environmental history, but on Scottish history overallBy utilising and combining innovative methodologies and a staggering breadth of sources, he presents us with a magisterial and original account of Scotland and the Scots, as well as vital lessons for our society today and into the future'

-- Professor Annie Tindley, Newcaste University

'Brings a much-neglected dimension to our understanding of the past, arguing that climactic and environmental change were the backdrop to social, political, religious and cultural change'

-- Professor Alison Cathcart, University of Stirling

'[This series] traces and explains the vast panorama of Scottish experience . . . through successive generations of crises and opportunities, both natural and man-made . . . Its scope and its impact are breathtaking, ambitious and far-reaching'

-- Dr Michael Penman, University of Stirling
