The Earth Transformed: new approaches to global and environmental histories
In conversation with Jonathan Cross, global historian Peter Frankopan discusses his latest book and the issues arising from it. The ways in which we have used, exploited and adapted the earth has brought enormous benefits – but has often come at a cost. As we face a precarious future, learning lessons from the past has never been more important.
Peter Frankopan is Professor of Global History and Senior Research Fellow at Worcester College. He is author of The Silk Roads: A New History of the World.
