"The book analyses from a comparative perspective the exploration of territories,
the histories of their inhabitants, and local natural environments during the long
eighteenth century. The eleven chapters look at European science at home and abroad
as well as at global scientific practices and the involvement of a great variety of
local actors in the processes of mapping and recording. Dealing with landlocked territories
with no colonies (like Switzerland) and places embedded in colonial networks, the
book reveals multifarious entanglements connecting these territories"
