This penetrating examination of a paradox of colonial rule shows how the massive transfers of technology--including equipment, techniques, and experts--from the European imperial powers to their colonies in Asia and Africa resulted not in industrialization but in underdevelopment. Examining the most important technologies--shipping and railways, telegraphs and wireless, urban water supply and sewage disposal, economic botany and plantation agriculture, irrigation, and mining and metallurgy--Headrick provides a new perspective on colonial economic history and reopens the debate on the roots of Asian and African underdevelopment.

This much-needed study of the British Empire Exhibition reveals durable, persistent connections between empire and domestic society in Britain during the interwar years. It demonstrates that the Exhibition was a marker of how by 1924, imperial relations were increasingly likely to be shaped by forces located on the colonial periphery.

This book presents a comprehensive and critical review of recent developments in Invertebrate Zoology. It summarises the results of diverse worldwide research and investigation into all classes of Invertebrates from Protozoa to Echiodermata except insects, and brings together information from scattered and even inaccessible journals and periodicals. Among the Arthropoda, only Crustacea are dealt with. The central concept in this book is that regardless of structural diversity, life is the same everywhere on the earth. While not a textbook in the strict sense of the term, this book should prove indispensable to teachers, students and researchers in colleges and universities.
