In The Burning Earth, environmental historian at Yale University and MacArthur Genius fellow Sunil Amrith creates an ambitiously complete history of the way 500 years of human development has driven environmental change and destruction. From empires and their colonisation of the globe, coal mining to oil extraction, and the legacy of 20th century wars, he'll reveal today the full cost of the journey from there to here. In conversation with David Farrier.
