Abstract
German
German
Carson Fellow Reinhold Reith erforscht, wie die Menschen in der frühen Neuzeit die Natur genutzt und sie somit verändert haben, aber auch, wie die Natur die Menschen und ihre Lebensumstände beeinflusst hat. Er vergleicht die Geschichte mit der Gegenwart und zeigt unter anderem auf, dass die Nachhaltigkeit schon länger besteht und keine neue Entwicklung ist. Carson Fellow Reinhold Reith unterrichtet seine Forschungsschwerpunkte Umwelt- und Sozialgeschichte an der Universität von Salzburg.
