<br/><br/> From 1895 to the founding of the United Nations in 1945, the promising new science of ecology flourished in the British Empire. Anker asks why ecology expanded so rapidly and how a handful of influential scientists and politicians established a tripartite ecology of nature, knowledge, and society.
