Open Fields Science in Cultural Encounter

"Beers work on cultural history shares the compulsive interest in differences and the urge to empathy that delights her in Darwin. Her essays welcome divers audiences, combining deep scholarship and restless, questioning curiosity with incisive detail. And as she exposes the cultural themes framing the work of others, she suggests too, the highly charged, positive basis of her project, the impulse to bring together fragmented epistomologies, to gaze across, if not to bridge, the divide between forms of human knowledge."Beer, Gillian is the author of 'Open Fields Science in Cultural Encounter' with ISBN 9780198186359 and ISBN 0198186355.
