Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an intriguing historical exploration of one of New York's first botanical gardens, examining its origins, the controversy surrounding its ownership, and the political and social forces that shaped its legacy. Set against the backdrop of New York's colonial past and the struggle for independence, the book sheds light on the dynamics of land claims, scientific patronage, and the evolution of higher education in the United States. The author meticulously reconstructs the garden's history, from its establishment as a private venture by a prominent physician to its transfer to state ownership and subsequent decline. Through extensive research and analysis, the book not only recovers a forgotten chapter in the history of American botany but also illuminates the complex relationship between scientific innovation, political power, and the public good. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780260679987_0
