Donna Mehos here examines the exclusive nature of Artis and how the Amsterdam middle class utilized it to cultivate a culture of science that would reflect well on the nation and its capital. This volume offers a fascinating study of the role of science in the development of Dutch national and class identities during a period of national and colonial expansion.SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshNetherlandsSocial life and customs19th centurySCIENCE / General.590.739492Mehos Donna C.972581UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910146260603321Science and culture for members only2212133UNINA
