Robert Percival Books

The book offers an in-depth analysis of society's varied responses to environmental challenges, structured into four distinct sections. Each part explores different aspects of environmental issues and emphasizes the role of public policy in addressing these complex concerns. Through a multi-disciplinary lens, it aims to provide insights into the nature and scope of environmental problems and the strategies employed to tackle them effectively.

The tropical island Ceylon, today called Sri Lanka, had been travelled by Robert Percival in 1803. In this time the island was colonized by Britain, the Netherlands, Malaysia and Portugal. Percival accomplished with his book a very special account of a journey. He does not only describe the flora and fauna, he also dedicated a capture to the policy of Ceylon in his time. Originally released in 1803.
