Nature’s Government: Science, Imperial Britain and the ’Improvement’ of the World
Richard Drayton
This attempt to juxtapose the histories of Britain, western science and imperialism argues that expansion led to increasing knowledge. Science was fed by information culled from around the globe, aiding imperialism by guiding the exploitation of exotic climes and making conquest seem beneficial.
