Science and Empire in the Nineteenth Century
The issue at stake in this volume is the role of science as a way to fulfil a quest for knowledge, a tool in the exploration of foreign lands, a central paradigm in the discourse on and representations of Otherness. The interweaving of scientific and ideological discourses is not limited to the geopolitical frame of the British empire in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries but extends to the rise of the American empire as well. The fields of research tackled are human and social science...

by J Norman Lockyer
Long out of print, and difficult to come by on the used book market, The Dawn of Astronomy, first published in 1894, is now made available once again. In this book, Sir Norman Lockyer, one of the great astronomers of the past generation, applies his advanced knowledge of astronomy to certain problems of the archaeology of his day. "One of the many points already profoundly investigated by Egyptologists," writes the author, "has been the chronology of the kings of Egypt from their first monarch,...
