Knowing Global Environments

"A valuable contribution to the growing dialogue between historians of science and environmental historians. We have under one cover a fascinating compendium of theses and their environmental implications."

~Environmental History

"Knowing Global Environments thoroughly recasts our understanding of the field sciences by embedding them in environmental history, political economy, and a deepening public involvement. Each case study is a gem, rich in detail and conceptually provocative.

"

~Tom Gieryn, Indiana University

"Anyone who wants to learn about or contribute to the history of field sciences will find much to ponder in these provocative, well-documented essays. Recommended."

~Choice

"The chapters in this rare volume soar to the heights of mountains and plunge into the depths of the oceans while asserting the significance of a spatial orientation within the history of science and environmental history."

~Frederick R. Davis, Florida State University
