Congratulations to Pete Minard for publishing ‘All Things Harmless, Useful and Ornamental: Environmental Tranformations through Species Acclimitization, from Colonial Australia to the World’

Congratulations to Pete Minard for the publication of All Things Harmless, Useful and Ornamental: Environmental Tranformations through Species Acclimitization, from Colonial Australia to the World (University of North Carolina Press, 2019). This book argues that the colonies, not the imperial centres, led the movement for species acclimatization. By focusing particularly on the Australian colony of Victoria, Minard reveals a global network of would-be acclimatizers, from Britain and France to Russia and the United States.
