[Erica]

Lovely volume--several outstanding essays.

[Erica]

Great little volume on overlap between the development of science and romantic humanities in the 18th and 19th centuries. Absolutely LOVED Alan Bewell's Chapter, "Jefferson's Thermometer: Colonial Biogeographical Constructions of the Climate in America." Will teach it with relish in Hist 325" Nature and Nation!
