Description

Explore the profound connection between human populations and the natural world in A Land Won from Waste: Scotland AD 400-1400. Published by John Donald, this volume provides a first environmental history of Scotland by combining evidence from archaeology, palaeoecology, climate history, and the historical record. Instead of focusing on political events or royal reigns, this study examines how people interacted with forests, waters, wildlife, and the land. The narrative follows major climatic shifts, moving from the high temperatures of the Late Iron Age through to the difficult years of the fourteenth century marked by war and plague. This book offers a unique perspective on how environmental changes shaped the Scottish landscape and its inhabitants over fourteen centuries.
