ELHN

The Journal for the History of Environment and Society (JHES) aims to be a leading online and open-access periodical that covers all aspects of environmental history conceived in its broadest sense. The journal encourages high-quality scholarship which focuses on relations between environmental changes and social-historical context. Interregional and international comparative articles receive special attention.

The peer-reviewed series Critiques and Alternatives to Capitalism comprises rigorous scholarly books, accessible to general readers, that aim to address the main issues of capitalism and to indicate possible alternatives. The series publishes monographs, edited collections, and translations of volumes already issued in other languages by both prestigious and emerging international experts, in the fields of political theory, sociology, political philosophy, and heterodox economics.
