Sunil Amrith

Sunil Amrith is a historian and MacArthur Fellow who is a professor at Yale University, specialising in the environmental and social history of South and Southeast Asia. His books, including Crossing the Bay of Bengal and Unruly Waters, explore how climate, water, and migration have shaped the history of Asia. The Burning Earth examines the history of humanity's relationship with fire and fossil fuels and how this relationship has driven both progress and environmental catastrophe. Amrith's audiobooks offer listeners ambitious, beautifully written environmental history that connects the past to the urgent climate challenges of the present.
