Mosley in this reading brings us back to the consensus view, reaffirming social value and local environment history. The alignment between social or labour historians and environmentalism is explained in this reading, and helps to illuminate better the consensus view that Taksa casts a more critical eye upon. In the latter half of the paper Mosely sets out points for a common ground. Although little is said about the local sub-genre the themes here in national and global environmental history are very relevant. The critical reader will also detect the difficulties and shortcomings for local history in each of the points that Mosley explores.
