This is wonderful: http://www.amazon.com/Imperial-Nature-Struggles-Globalization-Agrarian/dp/0300104081 Michael Goldman, Imperial Nature: The World Bank and Struggle for Social Justice in the Age of Globalization So is this (and it has a chapter on mosquitoes): http://www.amazon.com/Rule-Experts-Egypt-Techno-Politics-Modernity/dp/0520232623/ref=pd_sim_b_10 Timothy Mitchell, Rule of Experts: Egypt, Techno-Politics, Modernity On related notes, this really affected my reading of the meaning of conservation http://www.amazon.com/Imposing-Wilderness-Livelihood-Preservation-California/dp/0520234685/ Roderick Neumann, Imposing Wilderness: Struggles over Livelihood and Nature Preservation in Africa. And then there's this on New York City http://www.amazon.com/Concrete-Clay-Reworking-Industrial-Environments/dp/0262572168 Matthew Gandy, Concrete and Clay: Reworking Nature in New York City
