About This Book

In The Burning Earth, historian Sunil Amrith shows how over the last 500 years humanity has reshaped the planet — and the planet, in turn, has shaped human history. He interweaves stories of empire, extraction, war, and migration, tracing silver and gold mines to railways and oil. This sweeping global history reveals the deep links between human ambition, environmental transformation, and the ecological crisis we face today.
