Geography, Science and National Identity: Scotland since 1520: 33 (Cambridge Studies in Historical Geography, Series Number 33) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Charles Withers' book brings together work on the history of geography and the history of science with extensive archival analysis to explore how geographical knowledge has been used to shape an understanding of the nation. Using Scotland as an exemplar, the author places geographical knowledge in its wider intellectual context to afford insights into perspectives of empire, national identity and the geographies of science. In so doing, he advances a new area of geographical enquiry, the historical geography of geographical knowledge, and demonstrates how and why different forms of geographical knowledge have been used in the past to constitute national identity, and where those forms were constructed and received. The book will make an important contribution to the study of nationhood and empire and will therefore interest historians, as well as students of historical geography and historians of science. It is theoretically engaging, empirically rich and beautifully illustrated.

Cambridge Studies in Historical Geography No. 33. "Scotland is viewed from the context of the relationship between geographical knowledge and national identity in this study. The author explores new perspectives on Empire, national characteristics and local geographies of science, and advances a previously unexplored area of geographical inquiry--the historical geography of geographical knowledge. The book offers a broad-ranging approach to the subject, and will be of interest to students as well as imperial historians" (Cambridge University Press Web site). "Geography, Science, and National Identity offers a sweeping chronology and reveals the richness of the history of Scottish geography. There is a wealth of material here, and Withers pushes us to think differently about geography and its importance to political, social, and intellectual history" (Isis). Contents: 1.
