The Rescue!History network is currently producing a multi-author book History at the End of the World? History, Climate Change and the Possibility of Closure, which will be available from Humanities-Ebooks from sometime in 2009. This will include pieces from a wide range of historians, archaeologists, social scientists and other (independent as well as university based) researchers considering the crisis we now find ourselves in, through prisms of both recent and distant past.
However, the Rescue!History site is wide open for discussion, blogs and other relevant information. As a beginning we are publishing on this site the articles which appeared or are due to appear as a series under the auspices of History Today 2007-8, in their original or final form.
