This ground-breaking book reflects the growing awareness of the relationship between the expansion of empires and the environmental experience of the extra-European world. The work of an international team of eminent historians, it provides a comparative historical approach to the impact of humankind on the ecological systems on which the settler societies were ultimately based. It also explores the way in which the science of ecology itself was an artefact of empire, an examination that brings together imperial history and the history of science. This book is a major and provocative contribution to the fast-growing field of environmental history.
