Reviews

'... a comprehensive monograph about a central aspect of early twentieth-century German political culture.' German History '... deserves to be read not only by specialists of the First World War, but by anyone who wants to understand the course of German history in the first half of the twentieth century.' Stefan Berger, English Historical Review 'Stibbe vividly portrays the spread of Anglophobia through German literature and everyday culture.' Sven Oliver Muller, German Historical Institute Bulletin 'This provocative book ... asks 'When and where did the environmental movement begin?' ... The strength of the book is historical and much of its evidence analyses the work of the Indian Forest Department from the 1850s onwards.' Brian Ellis, Geography '... impressively researched and trenchantly argued ... this is a very good book ...'. J. M. Bourne, University of Birmingham, History
