Beskrivning
Jesuits and the Book of Nature: Science and Education in Modern Portugal offers an account of the Jesuits’ contributions to science and education after the restoration of the Society of Jesus in Portugal in 1858. As well as promoting an education grounded on an “alliance between religion and science,” the Portuguese Jesuits founded a scientific journal that played a significant role in the consolidation of taxonomy, plant breeding, biochemistry, and molecular genetics. In this book, Francisco Malta Romeiras argues that the priority the Jesuits placed on the teaching and practice of science was not only a way of continuing a centennial tradition but should also be seen as response to the adverse anticlerical milieu in which the restoration of the Society of Jesus took place.

Recensioner i media

"Francisco Malta Romeiras offers a worthy contribution to the vast and still growing body of scholarship on Jesuit science from a rather original standpoint: modern Portugal [...] The book is a very informative, if rather descriptive, contribution to the history of Catholic science in thenineteenth and twentieth centuries [...] Jesuits and the Book of Nature thus offers an engaging collective portrait of four generations of men of science and faith, shedding light on a myriad of better- and lesser-known figures and facts and bringing them to the attention of a wide international scholarly audience; it is certainly a very welcome contribution to a thriving field of investigation."Maria Pia Donato, CNRS Paris, in Isis, 112.2 (2021)(full review: https://doi.org/10.1086/714670)
