| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | This is a book about land, as well as about India—as that region of almost continental proportions and immense physical diversity came to be known to the British and to other European travellers and observers in the first half of the nineteenth century. But it is also a book about the land, about the ways in which India’s material environment became increasingly subject to scientific scrutiny, much of it by itinerant naturalists and—centrally to this study—especially by botanists. Although there have been scholarly works that have previously discussed aspects of science and travel in colonial India, none has attempted, as this does, to see them as part of an interrelated process of observation and appropriation. |
