Three maps from my ATLAS OF EARLY MODERN WILDLIFE showing where wild animals were recorded in Britain and Ireland 250-500 years ago... :bunhdpeek:​
I found loads of records of Pine Martens and Otters. So why no records of Beavers from early modern England..?
John Ray (1693) says 'These animals have been cut down by hunters all the way to the final extermination, and their stock in England and Wales is thoroughly extinct...'
Were they already gone?😿​

Daniella M out here with so many great books to review for H-Net - infrastructure! electricity! animals! hydroenvironments (which is not a word apparently)! art! computing! - I have to have another link to Twitter for you: https://twitter.com/farsouthhistory/status/1678747679004803076?s=20

Is #animalhistory a thing? IT should be a thing, I think...

@jconnellstryker perhaps it would help to add tags too to spread the word, such as: #histodons #History #envhist #envhistodons

At Odeuropa we are working on an online ‘Encyclopaedia of Smell History and Heritage’, launching late next year. As editor-in-chief I am looking for those interested in writing entries! For more information, take a look at the Odeuropa blog: https://odeuropa.eu/2022/12/call-for-encyclopaedia-of-smell-history-and-heritage-entries/ (please do amplify this to your own networks - thanks!). #histodons #envhistodons #envhum #envhist #culturalheritage #culturalhistory #socialhistory #sensoryhistory #smellhistory #smellheritage #smellstudies #medhums #medhist

Je termine tout juste les derniers chapitres de La nature et le roi de Devroey, quand le nouveau numéro des Annales sort avec deux notes critiques portant dessus.
Bref, lisez ce livre et les #AnnalesHSS 😉
