It argues that histories of science cannot be limited to the study of 'science' alone, but must also consider the formation of scientific subjectivities (suffused with emotions), which were neither pre-formed nor fixed. Examining how individual scientific perspectives were formed within the context of non-settler colonies, the author focuses specifically on the case of ornithology in India. He highlights the role of gender, particularly femininity, and the work of 'women of science,' an area that has received limited attention in colonial histories of science. Simultaneously, the book explores how gendered categories of masculinity and femininity were implicated in these practices and reformulated in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003eThis book also examines the intersection between science and emotion. For example, the author explores the influence of loneliness, grief, arrogance, and racial superiority in attracting people to science and shaping their works. Drawing on concepts from the history of emotions, such as ‘emotional communities,’ ‘emotional clusters,’ and ‘emotional performances,’ the book highlights the fluid nature of emotional experiences within scientific practices. This interdisciplinary approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how emotional, gendered, and scientific subjectivities were entangled within a complex colonial context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eSaurabh Mishra\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Post-1800 History at the University of Sheffield, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 October 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783031867637\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e242\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52368973332620,"sku":"9783031867637","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031867637.jpg?v=1786627052","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031867637","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
