Title: Empire forestry and the origins of environmentalism
Description: "The empire forestry movement spread through India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and then the United States to other parts of the globe, and Gregory Barton's pioneering study is amongst the first to look at this movement, and thus the origins of environmentalism, in global perspective."
