Description: Translating Nature recasts the era of early modern science as an age of translation across linguistic, cultural, and geographical boundaries. Contributors highlight the vital roles that Native Americans, Africans, and European Catholics played in the global history of science.
Review Quotes: "Translating Nature delivers a colorful and vivid picture of how early modern knowledge production was a collective enterprise, involving well known and, until recently, voiceless actors. The volume's tour the force is two-fold: to bring to the surface previously ignored 'native' knowledge and actors, and to reintroduce Catholic empires, namely the Spanish one, into the master narrative of the Scientific Revolution, whose main heroes have been Francis Bacon and the Protestant empires."-- "Journal of Early Modern History"
