Beautiful writing.

Sunil Amrith’s grand sweep of global environmental history is a delight for the career environmental engineer within me.

This is such a welcome break from the instant coffee grey literature from consulting agencies and UN bodies which release reports on LinkedIn each day, which I am sure most consultants have made summaries from LLMs to extract bullet points.

Deep scholarship lasts and informs in transformative ways it provokes to think alternative frames than the boring frameworks which have reduced the environmental discourse to pithy soulless key performance indicators for sustainability reporting.
