Book SynopsisTrade Review"
Visions of Nature… is a rigorous and broad-ranging exploration that spans the highly local to the constructed ‘global’ and offers its readers new threads and connections to follow." * H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online *
"Hore has written a series of microhistories that combine to tell a fascinating transnational narrative of late-19th-century colonial environmentalism." * Journal of Australian Studies *
"
Visions of Nature is a well-researched, unique work in the field of environmental history, geography, settler colonial theory, and the history of photography. The book takes a bold approach to its subject matter and pulls together immense amounts of information and evidence from various intellectual fields of study and geographical regions and is a significant work of interdisciplinary research." * Journal of Arizona History *
