Unmapped countries : biological visions in nineteenth century literature and culture
"Biotechnology and human genetics are the dominant applied sciences in the twenty-first century. Unmapped Countries provides a critical retrospective on the nineteenth-century origins of modern biological science and their close connections with the cultural sphere. It explores the emerging cultural authority of the biological sciences during the nineteenth century, when fundamental discoveries in geology and physics dramatically destabilized the Victorian worldview."--BOOK JACKET
