Where did we do science in the Enlightenment and why? This volume brings together leading historians of Early Modern science to explore the places, spaces, and exchanges of Enlightenment knowledge production. Adding to our understanding of the geographies of knowledge , it examines the relationship between space and place , institutions, objects , and ideas , showing the ways in which the location of science really matters.
