Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is a major and innovative contribution to the environmental history of settler societies and of South Africa. The Cape, like Australia, became a major exporter of wool. Vast numbers of sheep flooded its semi-arid plains and rapidly transformed its fragile natural pastures. This book
analyses the development of conservationalist ideas over the long term in South Africa as a response to these problems.
