Review Quotes: "Fresh and thought-provoking . . . [W]hat makes this volume stand out is its emphasis on creative deployment of business history techniques to get at new understandings of manmade ecological change. By paying close attention to firm structure and strategy-the stuff of old-school business history-these authors show how historical research into corporations might offer innovative solutions to the pressing global environmental problems we face today."-- "Environmental History"
