Science and Empire in the Atlantic World de James Delbourgo

Science and Empire in the Atlantic World: New Directions in American History

Editat de James Delbourgo, Nicholas Dew
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2007
Science and Empire in the Atlantic World is the first book in the growing field of Atlantic Studies to examine the production of scientific knowledge in the Atlantic world from a comparative and international perspective. Rather than focusing on a specific scientific field or single national context, this collection captures the multiplicity of practices, people, languages, and agendas that characterized the traffic in knowledge around the Atlantic world, linking this knowledge to the social processes fundamental to colonialism, such as travel, trade, ethnography, and slavery.
