Recenzii

“This fine volume edited by Brett M. Bennett and Joseph M. Hodge does much to make a strong case for the utility of placing empire within broader history of science studies contexts. It also provides an extremely useful set of readings suitable for anyone with interests in empire, as well as an excellent source for any course exploring science and imperialism. I recommend the book highly.” (James Beattie, Environmental Values, Vol. 22 (3), August, 2016)
'This book can be recommended to all students of the history and geography of empire and science, and its accessible style and engaging presentation will ensure that it can be useful to students and scholars of all levels of experience.' - Journal of Historical Geography, Elizabeth Baigent, University of Oxford
