Review
“This fine volume edited by Brett M. Bennett and Joseph M. Hodge does much to make a strong case for the utility of placing empire within broader history of science studies contexts. It also provides an extremely useful set of readings suitable for anyone with interests in empire, as well as an excellent source for any course exploring science and imperialism. I recommend the book highly.” (James Beattie, Environmental Values, Vol. 22 (3), August, 2016)
'This book can be recommended to all students of the history and geography of empire and science, and its accessible style and engaging presentation will ensure that it can be useful to students and scholars of all levels of experience.' - Journal of Historical Geography, Elizabeth Baigent, University of Oxford

'This new survey of scientific endeavor within the British Empire is the most wide-ranging yet published, examining the interconnections between science, the British Empire, and the emergence of a globalized world. It identifies and analyzes the web of scientific networks crisscrossing the British Empire through which scientific knowledge and authority were produced, circulated and legitimated, critically engaging with new ways of thinking about networked connections across space. It offers a comparative perspective that surveys a variety of scientific initiatives and circuits, including networks of agronomists, anatomists, botanists, foresters, geologists, marine biologists, oceanographers and physicists.As theychart theevolving practices, strategies, theoretical ideas and agendas among research scientists, technical advisers, imperial administrators, and native peoples in Africa, Australia, Britain, India and elsewhere; each chapter combines rigorous research with theoretical reflection based on the latest literature, as well as serving as a useful introduction to that literature.'.
