Book Review

The Tropics and the Traveling Gaze: India, Landscape, and Science, 1800–1856. By David Arnold. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2006. xii + 298 pp. Includes illustrations, notes bibliography, and index. Cloth $50.00.

"Ideas of landscape," David Arnold argues in this rich study of changing British perceptions of India, formed a "central and integrating element in the wider constitution of colonial knowledge" and a "critical ingredient in the larger colonizing process" (p. 5). Indeed, Arnold contends, in the British colonization of India, ideas of landscape were "quite as fundamental as conquering armies" (p. 6).
