About the Book
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the ecological changes in Bengal Province, driven by the evolution of two major industries: forestry and mining. It traces the processes that led to the institutionalization of these industries and examines their environmental, social, and economic impacts.
By delving into the historical development of these industries, the author highlights how the expansion of forestry and mining transformed the landscape of Bengal, leading to lasting ecological shifts. The work also discusses the political and institutional factors that facilitated the growth of these industries, offering valuable insights into the colonial history of resource exploitation.
This book is a key resource for scholars and students of environmental history, colonial history, and industrialization, shedding light on the complex interplay between economic development and ecological change in colonial Bengal.
