Cambridge University Press Entangled Lives - Cambridge University Press History Book

Entangled Lives: Human-Animal-Plant Histories of the Eastern Himalayan Triangle offers a new way to look at the past. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work examines how human history can be understood by including the roles of animals and plants. It addresses the need to move past national and territorial narratives to find a broader perspective on how life connects across borders. This book explores the complex relationships within the Eastern Himalayan Triangle, a region spanning both uplands and lowlands. This area serves as a meeting point for three global biodiversity hotspots, making it a unique subject for academic study. By looking at these connections, the text seeks to find a balance between traditional academic history-writing and indigenous understandings of the past. Ideal for readers interested in anthropology, sociology, and environmental history, this book provides an investigation into a large area that has received little attention in previous academic inquiries. It provides a framework for rethinking how we view the history of life in one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth.
