This book is a comparative history of the development of ideas about nature, particularly of the importance of native nature in the Anglo settler countries of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It examines the development of natural history, settlers'' adaptations to the end of expansion, scientists'' shift from natural history to ecology, and the rise of environmentalism.
