How climate change might impact insect movement via physiological mechanisms
Desert Edens
From the 1870s to the mid-twentieth century, European explorers, climatologists, colonial officials, and planners were avidly interested in large-scale projects that might actively alter the climate. Uncovering this history, this book looks at how arid environments and an increasing anxiety about climate in the colonial world shaped this upsurge in ideas about climate engineering. From notions about the transformation of deserts into forests to N…

Deutschland in Grün
Deutschland in Grün is the revised German version of The Greenest Nation? A New History of German Environmentalism published in 2014 by MIT Press. While the English-language edition carries the doubt about the suitability of the epithet—there in its superlative form, ‘greenest’—right in the main title, the German version relegates the ambiguity to the subtitle: ‘an ambivalent success story’. In both versions, however, Frank Uekötter’s main object…
Infinite Power to Change the World
This article examines the Atlantropa Project of the German architect Herman So&x0308;rgel as a window onto the interconnected histories of environmental anxiety and technological optimism in Europe during the first half of the twentieth century. In the late 1920s, So&x0308;rgel conceived of Atlantropa as an answer to Oswald Spengler’s warnings about Europe’s inevitable cultural decline. The main feature of the project was a gigantic dam across th…
Between Waterberg and Sandveld
When German colonial officials and settlers arrived in the colony of Southwest Africa around the turn of the twentieth century, they were faced with dry, unknown, and often dangerous surroundings. This article provides an environmental perspective on the history of the German occupation of the colony. It highlights the widespread scarcity of water in the territory, which impacted and often impeded attempts to survey and develop the territory and …
Koloniale Begegnungen
Ulrike Lindner’s ambitious and detailed study of German–British encounters in Africa represents an overdue foray into the under-researched field of ‘trans-colonial’ exchanges between imperial powers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Based on an impressive range of largely untapped archival sources, this work shifts the historiographical focus from national or comparative perspectives to a close view of individual and instituti…

»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495
