Fredrik Albritton Jonsson examines the intersection of Scottish Enlightenment thought and the emergence of modern environmental consciousness. By analyzing the transformation of the Scottish Highlands, the author illustrates how eighteenth-century intellectuals grappled with the limits of natural resources and the ecological consequences of rapid economic development. This study provides a rigorous exploration of how early modern theories of improvement and sustainability shaped the foundations of contemporary environmentalism.
