Spanning the period from the establishment of East India Company rule through to Independence, David Arnold's wide-ranging and analytical survey demonstrates the importance of examining the role of science, technology and medicine in conjunction with the development of the British engagement in India and in the formation of Indian responses to western intervention. One of the first works to analyse the colonial era as a whole from the perspective of science, the book investigates the relationship between Indian and western science, the nature of science, technology and medicine under the Company, the creation of state-scientific services, 'imperial science' and the rise of an Indian scientific community, the impact of scientific and medical research and the dilemmas of nationalist science.New Cambridge history of India ;III, 5.Science, Technology & Medicine in Colonial IndiaScienceIndiaHistoryTechnologyIndiaHistoryMedicineIndiaHistoryScienceHistory.TechnologyHistory.MedicineHistory.509.54Arnold David1946-626927UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910450101303321Science, technology, and medicine in colonial India2480405UNINA03263nam 2200673Ia 450 991077804240332120200520144314.00-8173-1350-8(CKB)1000000000774974(EBL)454572(OCoLC)427557193(SSID)ssj0000197950(PQKBManifestationID)11937367(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000197950(PQKBWorkID)10168816(PQKB)10562289(MdBmJHUP)muse8916(Au-PeEL)EBL454572(CaPaEBR)ebr10309042(MiAaPQ)EBC454572(EXLCZ)99100000000077497420011114d2002 ub 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMark Twain, travel books, and tourism[electronic resource] the tide of a great popular movement /Jeffrey Alan MeltonTuscaloosa University of Alabama Pressc20021 online resource (220 p.)Studies in American literary realism and naturalismDescription based upon print version of record.0-8173-1160-2 Includes bibliographical references (p.

Travel books, Jeffrey Melton asserts in this study, are vital to Mark Twain's identity as a writer and to his cultural influence, and not just, as many critics have argued, preliminary sketches or failed attempts at fiction. Furthermore, the identity that Twain establishes for himself in these books as the arch ""tourist"" provides the most compelling perspective from which to view his entire body of work.
