The book explores the impact of gender, evangelism, empire, race, and nation on the development of early modern earth and environmental sciences, particularly in the context of the debates surrounding Noah's Flood. Through examining long-distance networks of knowledge from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries, it highlights how these social and cultural factors influenced scientific thought and discourse during this transformative period.
