Could a self-proclaimed man of learning and progressive science also have been an agent of monarchy and reaction? Cadwallader Colden (1688-1776), an educated Scottish emigrant and powerful colonial politician, was at the forefront of American intellectual culture in the mid-eighteenth century. While living in rural New York, he recruited family, friends, servants, and slaves into multiple scientific ventures and built a transatlantic network of contacts and correspondents that included Benjamin Franklin and Carl Linnaeus. Over several decades, Colden pioneered colonial botany, produced new theories of animal and human physiology, authored an influential history of the Iroquois, and developed bold new principles of physics and an engaging explanation of the cause of gravity.The Enlightenment of Cadwallader Colden traces the life and ideas of this fascinating and controversial "gentleman-scholar." John M. Dixon's lively and accessible account explores the overlapping ideological, social, and political worlds of this earliest of New York intellectuals. Colden and other learned colonials used intellectual practices to assert their gentility and establish their social and political superiority, but their elitist claims to cultural authority remained flimsy and open to widespread local derision. Although Colden, who governed New York as an unpopular Crown loyalist during the imperial crises of the 1760s and 1770s, was brutally lampooned by the New York press, his scientific work, which was published in Europe, raised the international profile of American intellectualism.HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775)bisacshNew York (State)Politics and governmentTo 1775New York (State)Intellectual life18th centuryHISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775).974.702092Dixon John M.1970-1487557MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798151703321The Enlightenment of Cadwallader Colden3707477UNINA01144nam0 22003133i 450 RMS013113020251003044344.020130827d2000 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nˆL'‰avvenire della sicurezzaesperienze e prospettivePasquale De Palatis[S.l.]Cifi2000290 p.ill.24 cm.Mezzi di trasportoSicurezzaFIRLO1C695496I363.12Rischi nei trasporti14363.122RISCHI NEI TRASPORTI FERROVIARI22Mezzi di locomozioneMezzi di trasportoMezzi di locomozioneDe Palatis, PasqualeBVEV021332070725659ITIT-00000020130827IT-BN0095 NAP 01SALA DING $RMS0131130Biblioteca Centralizzata di Ateneo1 v.1 v. 01SALA DING 363.12 DEP.av 0102 0000058595 VMA A4 1 v.Y 2006021020060210 01Avvenire della sicurezza1574808UNISANNIO
