Independence movements in Europe, the Americas, and other parts of the world were catalysts for radical economic, social, and cultural reform. And it was during this age of revolutions--an era of rapidly expanding scientific investigation--that profound changes in scientific knowledge and practice also took place. In this volume, an esteemed group of international historians examines key elements of science in societies across Spanish America, Europe, West Africa, India, and Asia as they overlapped each other increasingly. Chapters focus on the range of participants in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century science, their concentrated effort in description and taxonomy, and advancements in techniques for sharing knowledge. Together, contributors highlight the role of scientific change and development in tightening global and imperial connections, encouraging a deeper conversation among historians of science and world historians and shedding new light on a pivotal moment in history for both fields"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSCIENCE / History$2bisacsh 606 $aWorld history$xHistoriography 606 $aScience$xHistoriography 606 $aSocial change$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial change$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aScience$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aScience$xHistory$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aSCIENCE / History. 615 0$aWorld history$xHistoriography. 615 0$aScience$xHistoriography. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory 676 $a509/.033 702 $aRood$b Daniel 702 $aManning$b Patrick$f1941- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494721903321 996 $aGlobal Scientific Practice in an Age of Revolutions, 1750?1850$92474957 997 $aUNINA
