I've posted a preprint of a foreword I've written for a forthcoming book by Thomas Vesting, called Subjectivity Transformed: The cultural foundation of liberty in modernity. You can reach it through this link on my website: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-5lJw9CbEU6POSLJa3ssZDl1FjbZq2ki/view?usp=sharing I hope it will inspire your interest in the book.

Well, I suppose an #introduction is called for! I am Mark Stoll, professor at #TexasTech University. I've been interested in #envhist for 35 years.

I have written 2 books on the influence of #religion on #ideas about #environment and #nature.

My most recent book, #Profit: An #Environmental #History, is an environmental history of #capitalism with a strong #cultural angle. You can find it at https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=profit-an-environmental-history--9781509533237, from #PolityBooks.
