Thus they transformed cattle and sheep adapted to regional environments into bulky, quick-fattening beasts. Exploring the environmental and economic ramifications of imperial expansion on colonial environments and production practices, Rebecca J. H. Woods traces how global physiological and ecological diversity eroded under the technological, economic, and cultural system that grew up around the production of livestock by the British Empire. Attending to the relationship between type and place and what it means to call a particular breed of livestock 'native,' Woods highlights the inherent tension between consumer expectations in the metropole and the ecological reality at the periphery."--Provided by publisher.Flows, migrations, and exchanges.AgrobiodiversityIndustrial revolutionGreat BritainHistory19th centuryEndemic animalsGreat BritainCattle breedsGreat BritainSheep breedsGreat BritainAnimal industryGreat BritainHistory19th centuryGreat BritainColoniesHistory19th centuryElectronic books.
