| Abstract | "This collection of essays addresses the role of space in the construction and dissemination of scientific ideas in the nineteenth century. The essays pay particular attention to the role of scale, ranging from the local scale of the Surrey countryside to the global spatiality of the prime meridian. The collection opens new avenues for studying the ways that science was a geographically situated set of practices in the nineteenth century"-- Provided by publisher. |
