摘要 本文分为三个部分。第一部分考察了环境史作为历史学科的一个独特子集的出现。我们讨论了它的发展，首先是它在美国保护和思想史中的根源，它不断发展的伦理和激进的强调，最后是它对人类在自然界中的更加国际主义和跨学科的观点。审查了环境史研究的各种模型（主要是人类学的）和议程。第二部分主要考虑历史和文化地理学家对环境史引发的更大的人类/自然辩论的贡献。重点关注四个研究领域（1）地球的转变和改造，（2）全球扩张和资本主义经济，（3）人类在自然界中的地位，（4）栖息地、经济和社会之间的相互关系。第三部分调查了这两个学科的一些含义、共同点和挑战。结论是，两个学科在“讲述地方故事”方面都有很多值得贡献和相互学习的地方。
Abstract This paper has three parts. The first examines the emergence of environmental history as a distinct subset of the history discipline. Its development is discussed, beginning with its roots in American conservation and intellectual history, its evolving ethical and radical emphasis, and ultimate its more internationalist and interdisciplinary views of humans in nature. The various models (mainly anthropological) and agendas for the study of environmental history are examined. The second part considers the contribution of primarily historical and cultural geographers to the larger human/nature debate raised by environmental history. Attention is focused on four areas of study (1) the transformation and modification of earth, (2) global expansion and the capitalist economy, (3) the place of humans in nature and, (4) the interrelationships between habitat, economy and society. The third part surveys some of the implications, commonalities and challenges of the discourse for both disciplines. It is concluded that both disciplines have much to contribute and learn from each other in "the telling of place stories".
