Scientific missionaries, as much as their religious counterparts, drove the
British imperial enterprise. Chronicling Kew Gardens botanists, Richard
Drayton鈥檚 Nature鈥檚 Government uncovers how the noble task of
鈥渋mproving鈥� the rest of the world through the appliance of science unerringly
brought wealth and prosperity to the home country. Published by Yale University
Press, 拢25, ISBN 0300059760.
