Introduction -- Origins of Environmental Anxieties -- Imperial Health Anxieties -- Colonial Aesthetic Anxieties -- Scottish-trained Doctors : Environmental Anxieties and Imperial Development, 1780s-1870s -- German Science and Imperial Forestry, 1840s-1900s -- South Asian and Australasian Forestry -- Anxieties and Exchanges, 1870s-1920s -- Thwarting Imperial Agricultural Development : The Spectre of Drifting Sands, 1800s-1920s -- Conclusion.

A fascinating new interpretation of imperialism and environmental change, revealing the anxieties imperialism generated through environmental transformation and interaction with unknown landscapes. Demonstrating that systematic deforestation accompanied anxieties about human-induced climate change, soil erosion, and a looming timber famine, the book illuminates colonial fears about the power of environments - and environmental change - to affect health. It looks at concerns at the ugliness of urban environments and attempts at improving their appearance, but it also argues that some of the conservation policies and bureaucracies that resulted from expressions of environmental anxiety represented a form of imperial control designed to generate revenue and to enable the more efficient exploitation of resources. Environmental anxiety tied together parts of South Asia and Australasia. Policies, people, plants and ideas were exchanged between these areas, but adapted in light of colonies' particular political, economic and environmental circumstances and problems.
