Book Description
Excerpt from A Naturalist's Wanderings in the Eastern Archipelago: A Narrative of Travel and Exploration From 1878 to 1883 Mb. A. R. Wallace's Malay Archipelago' is so accurate and exhaustive an account of the Eastern Isles, that there have been left but few gleanings for those who have followed him to gather. Most of the islands visited by me were also visited by him; but my route has in each island been altogether different from his. In as far as it refers to islands visited by both of us, I should desire this volume, which is a mere transcript of what I have thought the more interesting of the field notes made during my wanderings, to be considered in the light Of an addendum to - unfortunately without any of the literary elegance and finish Of - that model book of travel. N o detailed account of the Timor-laut Islands has appeared before the present and very little has been published on the inhabitants Of the interior of Timer.ale In the chapters devoted to these lands I have contributed some ethnological notes which I trust may be found new and of interest.

Book Description
Ecology and Power in the Age of Empire provides the first wide-ranging environmental history of the heyday of European imperialism, from the late nineteenth century to the end of the colonial era. It focuses on the ecological dimensions of the explosive growth of tropical commodity production, global trade, and modern resource management strategies that still visibly shape our world today, and how they were related to broader social, cultural, and political developments in Europe's colonies. Covering the overseas empires of all the major European powers, Corey Ross argues that tropical environments were not merely a stage on which conquest and subjugation took place, but were an essential part of the colonial project, profoundly shaping the imperial enterprise even as they were shaped by it. The story he tells is not only about the complexities of human experience, but also about people's relationship with the ecosystems in which they were themselves embedded: the soil, water, plants, and animals that were likewise a part of Europe's empire. Although it shows that imperial conquest rarely represented the signal ecological trauma that some accounts suggest, it nonetheless demonstrates that modern imperialism marked a decisive and largely negative milestone for the natural environment. By relating the expansion of modern empire, global trade, and mass consumption to the momentous ecological shifts that they entailed, this book provides a historical perspective on the vital nexus of social, political, and environmental issues that we face in the twenty-first-century world.
