In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Western scientific interest in China focused primarily on natural history. Prominent scholars in Europe as well as Westerners in China, including missionaries, merchants, consular officers, and visiting plant hunters, eagerly investigated the flora and fauna of China. Yet despite the importance and extent of this scientific activity, it has been entirely neglected by historians of science.
This book is the first comprehensive study on this topic. In a series of vivid chapters, Fa-ti Fan examines the research of British naturalists in China in relation to the history of natural history, of empire, and of Sino-Western relations. The author gives a panoramic view of how the British naturalists and the Chinese explored, studied, and represented China’s natural world in the social and cultural environment of Qing China.
Using the example of British naturalists in China, the author argues for reinterpreting the history of natural history, by including neglected historical actors, intellectual traditions, and cultural practices. His approach moves beyond viewing the history of science and empire within European history and considers the exchange of ideas, aesthetic tastes, material culture, and plants and animals in local and global contexts. This compelling book provides an innovative framework for understanding the formation of scientific practice and knowledge in cultural encounters.

讀後感
□江晓原 ■ 刘 兵 □此书首先引起我注意的，是开头提出的“科学帝国主义”（scientific imperialism）观念。作者使用这个观念，指的是“科学与帝国殖民事业两者的共生关系，说明科学发展与帝国想象的扩张，在某些情况下构成了一个相互作用的反馈回圈”。这种弯弯绕的...

用戶評價
相當細緻
评分一本難得的好書
评分Excellent book!
评分考察瞭英帝國博物學傢的在華活動——關注博物學傢們如何在中外機構、人員形成的網絡中尋找物種、製作記錄/標本、生産知識。博物學傢大多是業餘，其活動受商業利益（比如著名的茶葉大盜Fortune的故事）等動機驅使。好些章節基於殖民檔案/書寫的材料提供瞭細緻的曆史細節：廣州的齣口繪畫業中華人畫師和英國博物學傢閤作繪製物種圖錄（第二章）、19世紀在歐洲職業化的漢學同博物學的交涉（第四章）、田野工作中情感經驗和文化接觸（第五章）。
评分關於native agency和最後一章fieldwork 的討論很漂亮。理論的使用似乎有點過瞭？另外，學力和閱讀能力所限，我還是不太清楚，對近代中國“的”科學發展而言，對聯繫和比較英帝國科學在其他殖民地的發展經驗而言，這段英國博物學者在華的遭遇故事，是不是能提供更多的啟示？
