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."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aFlows, migrations, and exchanges. 606 $aAgrobiodiversity 606 $aIndustrial revolution$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEndemic animals$zGreat Britain 606 $aCattle breeds$zGreat Britain 606 $aSheep breeds$zGreat Britain 606 $aAnimal industry$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAgrobiodiversity. 615 0$aIndustrial revolution$xHistory 615 0$aEndemic animals 615 0$aCattle breeds 615 0$aSheep breeds 615 0$aAnimal industry$xHistory 676 $a338.1/76082094109034 700 $aWoods$b Rebecca J.
