Bøker av T. C. Smout

This 1994 book is a study of Scottish price history. Gibson and Smout focus, in particular, on the prices of grain, meal and animal products, and their conclusions make a powerful contribution to the perennial debate on the standard of living of ordinary people prior to industrialization.

The first modern history of Scottish woodlands explores the changing relationship between trees and people from the time of Scotland's first settlement, focusing on the period 1500 to 1920. Includes 69 illustrations, in both b/w and colour.

This volume, newly available in paperback, brings together the best of T. C. Smout's recent articles and contributions to books and journals on the topic of environmental history and offers them as a collection of 'explorations'. The author's interests are multi-faceted and, though often focussed on post-1600 Scotland, by no means restricted to that area.

This book is about how we have treated nature in some of the most valued landscapes in Europe. Combining social and cultural history with ecology and geography, T.C. Smout has written an environmental history that is both profound and accessible.
