Examines the competing theoretical models that historians use to explain the process of change and continuity--including those founded in the major philosophers and contemporary environmental historians. Green emphasizes the importance of such systematic models for any true appreciation of the dynamic process characterizing historical change. The work also considers the validity of current modes of "periodization, " or the way in which time is divided to render the past manageable. A lucid, insightful, and erudite work certain to be of fundamental importance to students and scholars of history.
