CONQUERING NATURE IN SPAIN AND ITS EMPIRE 1750-1850 (STUDIES IN IMPERIALISM)
Written by Helen Cowie.
Stock no. 1825211
Published by Manchester University Press. 1st 2011. Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

Between 1750 and 1850, Spain made a concerted effort to survey, catalogue and exploit the natural productions of its overseas possessions, arranging a series of scientific expeditions, and cultivating and displaying American fauna and flora in metropolitan gardens and museums. This book assesses the cultural significance of natural history in the Hispanic World, exploring the figurative and utilitarian value with which eighteenth-century spaniards invested natural objects - from globetrotting elephants to three-legged chickens - and considering how the creation, legitimisation and dissemination of scientific knowledge reflected broader questions of imperial power and national identity... Red cloth boards, gilt title to spine. A few b/w illustrations. ISBN: 9780719084935. Text block very slightly grubby. Dustwrapper lightly faded to spine and lightly rubbed at corners, a little grubby to rear panel.
