Michael L. Lewis. Inventing Global Ecology: Tracking the Biodiversity Ideal in India, 1947–1997. (Series in Ecology and History.)Athens, Ohio: Ohio University Press. 2004. Pp. 305. Cloth $ 55.00, paper $26.00.

This extremely well-written book is engaging, creatively researched, and a welcome contribution to the twentieth-century history of both Indian wildlife conservation and the rise of biodiversity conservation ideas globally. Tracking the emergence of a constellation of ideas about nature conservation, Michael L. Lewis follows the tested methods of many intellectual historians and historians of science. Key figures in India and the United States are subject to biographical scrutiny for what they can reveal about broader intellectual, institutional, and scientific developments. Lewis begins with chapters on Salim Ali and George Schaller, two ecologists—one Indian, the other American—whose work was foundational to scientific, field ecology-based advocacy for nature and wildlife conservation in India.
