His writings are an indispensable basis for our knowledge of the late Roman world. This book represents a collection of papers analysing Ammianus's writings from a variety of perspective, including Ammianus as historian of, and participant in, Julian's Persian campaign, his identification with traditional religious attitudes and values in Rome and his view of the Persian Magi. The contributors engage especially with the concept of self-identification. They address the tension of Ammianus' 606 $aHistorians$zRome$vBiography 606 $aGreeks$zRome$vBiography 606 $aEmperors$zRome$xHistory 607 $aRome$xHistory$yEmpire, 284-476$xHistoriography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistorians 615 0$aGreeks 615 0$aEmperors$xHistory. 676 $a937/.08/092 701 $aDrijvers$b Jan Willem$0637496 701 $aHunt$b David$g(Edward David),$f1947-$0905343 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455533203321 996 $aThe late Roman world and its historian$92024969 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03518nam 22007332 450 001 9910973378903321 005 20160311135346.0 010 $a1-107-11324-5 010 $a1-139-05342-6 010 $a1-280-15312-1 010 $a9786610153121 010 $a0-511-11643-8 010 $a0-511-01791-X 010 $a0-511-15426-7 010 $a0-511-30362-9 010 $a0-511-05354-1 035 $a(CKB)1000000000007106 035 $a(EBL)202346 035 $a(OCoLC)437063503 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000242291 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11218716 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000242291 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10300999 035 $a(PQKB)11640278 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781139053426 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC202346 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL202346 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10014882 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL15312 035 $a(PPN)152788220 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000007106 100 $a20110308d2000|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aScience, technology, and medicine in colonial India /$fDavid Arnold 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aCambridge :$cCambridge University Press,$d2000. 215 $a1 online resource (xii, 234 pages) $cdigital, PDF file(s) 225 1 $aThe new Cambridge history of India ;$vIII, 5 300 $aTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 18 Nov 2015). 311 08$a0-521-61718-9 311 08$a0-521-56319-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 214-216) and index. 327 $tIntroduction: science, colonialism and modernity --$tScience under the Company --$tWestern medicine in an Indian environment --$tTechnologies of the steam age --$tImperial science and the Indian scientific community --$tScience, state and nation. 330 $aInterest in the science, technology and medicine of India under British rule has grown in recent years and has played an ever-increasing part in the reinterpretation of modern South Asian history. Spanning the period from the establishment of East India Company rule through to Independence, David Arnold's wide-ranging and analytical survey demonstrates the importance of examining the role of science, technology and medicine in conjunction with the development of the British engagement in India and in the formation of Indian responses to western intervention. One of the first works to analyse the colonial era as a whole from the perspective of science, the book investigates the relationship between Indian and western science, the nature of science, technology and medicine under the Company, the creation of state-scientific services, 'imperial science' and the rise of an Indian scientific community, the impact of scientific and medical research and the dilemmas of nationalist science. 410 0$aNew Cambridge history of India ;$vIII, 5. 517 3 $aScience, Technology & Medicine in Colonial India 606 $aScience$zIndia$xHistory 606 $aTechnology$zIndia$xHistory 606 $aMedicine$zIndia$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aTechnology$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 676 $a509.54 700 $aArnold$b David$f1946-$0626927 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973378903321 996 $aScience, technology, and medicine in colonial India$94423751 997 $aUNINA
