Enlightenment's Frontier is a wonderful work of environmental, intellectual and social history, which will change historical understanding of eighteenth-century Scotland and illuminate contemporary choices about energy and sustainability. -Emma Rothschild, Harvard University -- Emma Rothschild A lively work, written with subtlety, some considerable humor, and always conscious of its contemporary relevance ... this volume should be read by those with an interest in the history of enlightenment thought, empire and science, development ideology, and environmentalism. -Paul Warde, University of East Anglia -- Paul Warde An important and interesting book and one that should speak to different historical scholars-of Enlightenment, of intellectual history, of British and Scottish history. -Charles W.
