Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. How Natural History Connected Diverse Individuals and Information Across the Globe. The last decades of the eighteenth-century witnessed attempts to structure nature with educated landowners dominating the development of the sciences. Many utilized networks of global trade and empire to inventory nature and understand events across the world. Specimens ranging from a North-Welsh bittern to the plants of Botany Bay were collected, recorded and classified. Texts were produced, distributed and used across the globe. Reading the World locates books, natural history specimens and people in a close cycle of literary production to reveal new aspects of scientific practice in the eighteenth-century. Rose uncovers the complex material connections between books, specimens and manuscripts that came to dominate practices of natural history across the British Empire in a period often seen to mark the emergence of a global modernity. AUTHOR: Dr. Edwin Rose is currently an AHRC Early Career Research Fellow in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge and an Advanced Research Fellow at Darwin College Cambridge. 62 b/w illustrations, 10 colour plates In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesa period that marked the emergence of a global modernityeducated landowners, or gentlemen, dominated the development of British natural history, utilizing networks of trade and empire to inventory nature and understand events across the world.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries--a period that marked the emergence of a global modernity--educated landowners, or 'gentlemen,' dominated the development of British natural history, utilizing networks of trade and empire to inventory nature and understand events across the world. Specimens, ranging from a Welsh bittern to the plants of Botany Bay, were collected, recorded, and classified, while books were produced in London and copies distributed and used across Britain, Continental Europe, the Pacific, Asia, and the Americas. Natural history connected a diverse range of individuals, from European landowners to Polynesian priests, incorporating, distributing, synthesizing, and appropriating information collected on a global scale. In Reading the World, Edwin D. Rose positions books, natural history specimens, and people in a close cycle of literary production and consumption. His book reveals new aspects of scientific practice and the specific roles of individuals employed to collect, synthesize, and distribute knowledge--reevaluating Joseph Banks's and Daniel Solander's investigations during James Cook's Endeavour voyage to the Pacific. Uncovering the range of skills involved in knowledge production, Rose expands our understanding of natural history as a cyclical process, from the initial collection and identification of specimens to the formal publication of descriptions to the eventual printing of sources.…
