Know about the book -

Regionalizing Science is written by Simon Naylor and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0822981807 (ISBN 10) and 9780822981800 (ISBN 13).

Victorian England, as is well known, produced an enormous amount of scientific endeavour, but what has previously been overlooked is the important role of geography on these developments. Naylor seeks to rectify this imbalance by presenting a historical geography of regional science. Taking an in-depth look at the county of Cornwall, questions on how science affected provincial Victorian society, how it changed people's relationship with the landscape and how it shaped society are applied to the Cornish case study, allowing a depth and texture of analysis denied to more general scientific overviews of the period.
