Review
"...anyone interested in comparative history of the British Empire, the neo-Europes, or social movements in industrial societies can read this book with profit. This is the first full-scale environmental history of authors - activists as well as academics - have managed to combine a serious historical study with a sympathetic inside view. This is not, fully, the kind of specialized scholarhip characteristic of American academic writing. It is directed to an educated but general audience by scholars with loyalities to the cause they analyze." American Historical Review
"...a comprehensive study, which opens new perspectives on how far pressures andinitiatives in a divided society can generate change or conflict." John Gullick, Times Literary Supplement
