Summary:	This work goes beyond immediate concerns about the Anthropocene, an epoch where humans are akin to a geological force reshaping nature. It traces specific stories of how when and where societies have reshaped ecosystems with varying outcomes. Resilience as much as collapse, a remaking of nature as much as an unmaking of its fabric get due attention. The collection goes beyond Europe and North America, to the Indian Ocean, Africa, South East and West Asia, examining a mosaic of experiences. The global possible rests on our ability to know the parts as well as the larger picture in a longtime perspective.
