Recensioner i media

Edwin Rose’s fascinating study shows how the great natural history collections of the early British empire were transformed into printed information. With exciting new insights into paper technologies, Reading the World links book production with ideas about plant and animal classification and reveals the ways notable natural history publications fostered imperial agendas, built global networks of naturalists, and defined English gentlemen. Highly recommended.
