"Pathbreaking and provocative throughout, Nature, Empire, and Nation represents revisionist history at its best.

Cañizares-Esguerra's range of subjects is impressive--botany, cosmography, ecology, race, and more--but he addresses each in a lively, intelligent, and accessible manner. The book should be required reading for historians of science, as well as for anyone with interests in the intellectual and cultural history of the early modern Ibero-Atlantic world." --Richard L.
