Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a rare opportunity to explore the findings of a British scientific expedition to South America in the 1830s. Led by Captain Belcher, the expedition had the ambitious goal of exploring an extensive and diverse range of scientific disciplines. The author provides unique insights into the challenges of such an ambitious mission, especially given the technological differences between then and now. In addition to the narrative of the expedition's progress, the book is a rich source of information and analysis about the indigenous populations, flora, and fauna of the areas visited by the Sulphur. And the author touches on the geopolitical and economic state of the region at the time, rounding out the historical context. Overall, this book is a blend of science, travel narrative, and social commentary, and also shows the genesis of modern scientific approaches to understanding global environments.
