Insatiable Appetite: The United States and the Ecological Degradation of the Tropical World
Richard P. Tucker
In the late 1800s, American entrepreneurs became participants in the 400-year history of European economic and ecological hegemony in the tropics. This book presents the history of the transformation of the tropics in modern times, pointing to the declining biodiversity that has resulted from the domestication of widely varied natural systems.
