A History of Early Modern Natural Resource Management

该项目旨在分析早期现代欧洲人如何管理两项关键资产：水和森林。它希望获得他们的实践和思维方式的详细知识，这些知识和思维方式仍然影响着当前对环境挑战的反应。它将使用一种创新的文化史方法来识别和比较来自法律、经济、科学、文学和艺术来源的证据。预期的结果包括拓宽我们对管理资源的看法。显著的好处包括改进我们如何分析不同时间和地点的不同管理系统，以及高质量的早期职业培训。

This project aims to analyse how early modern Europeans managed two key assets, water and forests. It expects to generate detailed knowledge of their practices and mindsets that still shape present responses to environmental challenges. It will use an innovative cultural history approach to identify and compare evidence drawn from legal, economic, scientific, literary and artistic sources. Expected outcomes include broadening how we think about managing resources. Significant benefits include improving how we can analyse different management systems across different times and places, and high-quality early career training.
