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.
