具体描述
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Western scientific interest in China focused primarily on natural history. Prominent scholars in Europe as well as Westerners in China, including missionaries, merchants, consular officers, and visiting plant hunters, eagerly investigated the flora and fauna of China. Yet despite the importance and extent of this scientific activity, it has been entirely neglected by historians of science.
This book is the first comprehensive study on this topic. In a series of vivid chapters, Fa-ti Fan examines the research of British naturalists in China in relation to the history of natural history, of empire, and of Sino-Western relations. The author gives a panoramic view of how the British naturalists and the Chinese explored, studied, and represented China’s natural world in the social and cultural environment of Qing China.
Using the example of British naturalists in China, the author argues for reinterpreting the history of natural history, by including neglected historical actors, intellectual traditions, and cultural practices. His approach moves beyond viewing the history of science and empire within European history and considers the exchange of ideas, aesthetic tastes, material culture, and plants and animals in local and global contexts. This compelling book provides an innovative framework for understanding the formation of scientific practice and knowledge in cultural encounters.
作者简介
Fa-ti Fan is Assistant Professor of History at the State University of New York at Binghamton.

评分清代在华的英国博物学家：科学、帝国与文化遭遇。 与以往的科学史著作有很大的不同，以往是采用纪年式或者分学科的方法来叙述，但本书是糅合到一起，而且添加了大量的时代背景，也提供了详细的文献参考，非常值得赞赏。 翻译的可以，图书设计和装帧也很精致

Excellent book!
评分题目、论点、文字都不错，但缺少中国这一边的史料是硬伤，导致很多可以深挖的“文化遭遇”只能一笔带过。
