Beskrivning
This is the first in-depth study of the sojourn in Sydney made by Nicolas Baudin’s scientific expedition to Australia in 1802. Starbuck focuses on the reconstruction of the voyage during the expedition’s stay in colonial Sydney and how this sheds new light on our understanding of French society, politics and science in the era of Bonaparte.

'succeeds brilliantly in its objectives, and adds to the rich layers of scholarship laid down earlier.' Australian Historical Studies 'An excellent and informative study ... Her fine-grained analysis draws out the unique nature of this voyage, both in its conception and its realisation, and her book is a valuable contribution to Baudin studies.' Explorations 'a fresh and engaging perspective to a voyage that grants glimpses of a changing world.' Imperial & Global Forum 'Starbuck has been able to meticulously piece together how [Baudin] managed the business of the expedition and to reveal the role he played in its reconstruction during this critical period ... [The book] contributes significantly to the rehabilitation of his reputation.' The Globe
