About
This work analyzes the political effects of scientific research as exemplified by one field, economic botany, during one epoch, the 19th century, when Great Britain was the world's most powerful nation. Lucile Brockway examines how the British botanic garden network developed and transferred economically important plants to different parts of the world to promote the prosperity of the Empire.
