Review Quotes: Transplanting Modernity brings a unique focus on intersections between the history of environmental transformation and the history of international development programs, focusing on a wide array of regions and themes. It is sophisticatedly argued and brilliantly researched and breaks new ground in evaluating the histories of development--often articulated as projects of transplanting modernity--through the lens of environmental history.--Debjani Bhattacharyya, Universität Zürich
