Likewise, the text emphasises a definition of \u003ci\u003eenvironment\u003c\/i\u003e that focuses on 'living with', inviting readers to think about the more-than-human worlds that medieval people depended on, cared for, constructed, and damaged. Bringing together a wide range of primary source material, including evidence from texts, material culture, and visual arts, the book reflects the diversity of landscapes and human responses to them throughout the course of this period and considers the role that these medieval worlds have played in shaping the modern, both physically and culturally.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLandscapes and Environments of the Middle Ages\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent resource for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in medieval studies and history, offering interdisciplinary, transhistorical, and transnational insights into this period of immense change and innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Bintley\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Early Medieval Literature and Culture at Birkbeck, University of London.
