In fact, one might view the history of technology as humankinds’s attempt to control nature, while seeing environmental history as the study of humanity’s impact upon the environment. Although simplistic in some ways, it is precisely this obverse set of relationships that we will examine through a series of representative thematic and case studies for what they reveal about the important technical intersection between humanity and nature.}, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Cutcliffe, Stephen}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
