  • Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History
    JOHN MAUNU Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History ncient cave art showed that humans did not regard themselves as the center of the Anatural world. Lascaux cave art showed how animals and the environment were the center of human life. The Neolithic Revolution saw a change over time as to the relationship between humans and the environment. Early Vedic shamans wrote poems on the power of forests and nature; Taoists and the Buddha shared a deep respect for the environment and nature. However, with the Neolithic Revolution, humans began moving from the Lascaux perspective of humans in a secondary role in the environment to viewing nature and the environment as real estate, “territory,” and property to be dominated and exploited; since then most historians wrote about the environment from this human-centered perspective. However, by the mid twentieth century, there evolved among many environmentalists in the United States a model for understanding global environmental history in terms of the interaction between humankind and the environment, which was soon adopted by most world historians. The following digital resources reflect these shifts—these “changes over time”—in the historiography of the global environmental history. This database is divided into sec- tions: Environmental Racism/Justice, Ecofeminism; Queer Ecology; Far Right Environ- mentalism; Global Sustainability and Environment Resources; Teaching Sustainability and Environmental History, with a sub-heading, Teaching the Environment and Collapse of Civilization Resources; Eco-Fiction/Climate Fiction; Environment/Nature in Art and Architecture; Religion and Environment; Digital Resources arranged by global regions, such as the Artic, with sources arranged within regions chronologically using common world historian periodization; and, finally, Environment Journals/Websites.
