About the book

The discovery of the New World raised many questions for early modern scientists. Imperial expansion necessitated changes in the way scientific knowledge was gathered. This book shows how this cosmographic knowledge had strategic, defensive and monetary values which royal scientists had to safeguard from foreign and internal enemies.
