'Global' knowledge was constructed, communicated and contested
during the long nineteenth century in numerous ways and places.
This book focuses on the life-geographies, material practices and
varied contributions to knowledge, be they medical or botanical,
cartographic or cultural, of actors whose lives crisscrossed an
increasingly connected world. Integrating detailed archival
research with broader thematic and conceptual reflection, the
individual case studies use local specificity to shed light on
global structures and processes, revealing the latter to be lived
and experienced phenomena rather than abstract historiographical
categories. This volume makes an original and compelling
contribution to a growing body of scholarship on the global history
of knowledge. Given its wide geographic, disciplinary and thematic
range this book will appeal to a broad readership including
historical geographers and specialists in history of science and
medicine, imperial history, museum studies, and book history.
