Description of Plants and Empire
In the 18th century, bioprospectors sponsored by European imperial powers brought back medicines, luxuries, and staples from the New World to their king and country. This book explores the movement, triumph, and extinction of knowledge in the course of encounters between Europeans and the Caribbean populations.
