Resumen de Early Modern Iberian Science: Ignored But Not For Much Longer. A Review of Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra's Nature, Empire, and Nation: Explorations of the History of Science in the Iberian World (Stanford: Stanford UP, 2006)

James Crawford

• There is a fundamental aspect of the early modern Iberian World that continues to be overlooked if not actively ignored in Anglophone historical scholarship: science. Thus, use of the word “explorations” in the subtitle of Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra’s Nature, Empire and Nation is fitting since this book discusses largely unexplored historical terrain.
