Book Synopsis The Botany of Empire in the Long Eighteenth Century by : Yota Batsaki
Book excerpt: The Botany of Empire in the Long Eighteenth Century brings together international scholars to examine: the figure of the botanical explorer; links between imperial ambition and the impulse to survey, map, and collect specimens in "new" territories; and relationships among botanical knowledge, self-representation, and material culture.
