{"product_id":"magnetic-fever-christopher-carter-9781606189948","title":"Magnetic Fever: Global Imperialism and Empiricism in the Nineteenth Century Transactions of the American Philosophical Society (Vol. 99, Part 4)","description":"Explores the links between science and empire in the 19th cent\\ury, focusing on the mutual interactions of British imperialism and geophysical empiricism. The 19th century was a time when science was becoming global, in part due to European colonial and imperial expansion. Colonies became not just propagation points for European science, but also collection points for geophysical investigations. These \"colonial observatories\" influenced the type of science that could be done. Comparing the development of British and American geomagnetic research during this period shows the dependency between the two influences. Both the scientific theories and the geopolitical realities played a role in creating the tool for studying global science still in use today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Carter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606189948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606189948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010 pg. 36","brand":"Christopher Carter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453813174527,"sku":"9781606189948","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1429cf6b-b254-438a-8df1-237b0dd64159.jpg?v=1777302453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/magnetic-fever-christopher-carter-9781606189948","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
