It investigates various forms of scientific practice conducted   during, after and before expeditions, and it places this discussion into the   scientific context of experiments. In treating expeditions as experiments in   a heuristic sense, we also propose that the expedition is a variation on the   laboratory in which different practices can be conducted and where the   transformation of uncertain into certain knowledge is tested. The   experimental positioning of the expedition brings together an ensemble of   techniques, strategies, material agents and social actors, and illuminates   the steps leading from observation to facts and documentation. The chapters   show the variety of scientific interests that motivated expeditions with   their focus on natural history, geology, ichthyology, botany, zoology,   helminthology, speleology, physical anthropology, oceanography, meteorology   and magnetism.  \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-01-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349845347\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-58106-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 294\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44479470567564,"sku":"9781349845347","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349845347.jpg?v=1775921104","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781349845347","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
