Beschreibung

This book highlights British India's role in 19th-century zoology, focusing on the Fauna of British India series. It examines how European expatriates, termed 'translocates,' influenced the field by bridging colonial and metropolitan science, often dismissing indigenous knowledge, and reshaping global zoological knowledge.
