EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWS:
‘The book is a monumental work depicting the historical development of the environmental parameters circumscribed in time and space…’
-Kalyan Chakrabarti, the statesman
‘As a work which focuses on colonial forest history of South and Southeast Asia, this is a valuable collection of essays which consolidates our knowledge of the topic.’
D-avid Hardiman, ‘ Economic and Political Weekly’
‘…a milestone on our road to understanding what might be called (even if the phrase rings a little oddly) the historical environmental history of South and Southeast Asia, a large part of this still little-explored territory.’
- Professor Mark Elvin, ‘Australian National University Newsletter’
