Everyday Nature - Knowledge of the Natural World in Colonial New York (Paperback)

In ""Everyday Nature"", Sara S. Gronim shows how scientific advances were received in the early modern world, from the time Europeans settled in America until just before the American Revolution. A fascinating portrait of colonial life, this book traces a series of innovations that were disseminated throughout the Atlantic world during the Enlightenment, and shows how colonial New Yorkers integrated new knowledge into their lives.
