The book analyses from a comparative perspective the exploration of
territories, the histories of their inhabitants, and local natural
environments during the long eighteenth century. The eleven
chapters look at European science at home and abroad as well as at
global scientific practices and the involvement of a great variety
of local actors in the processes of mapping and recording. Dealing
with landlocked territories with no colonies (like Switzerland) and
places embedded in colonial networks, the book reveals multifarious
entanglements connecting these territories. Contributors are: Sarah
Baumgartner, Simona Boscani Leoni, Stefanie Ganger, Meike Knittel,
Francesco Luzzini, Jon Mathieu, Barbara Orland, Irina Podgorny,
Chetan Singh, and Martin Stuber.
