Theoretical, Empirical, and Practical Perspectives

2020 || Hardcover || Anders Schinkel || VU University Press

India after World History

Literature, Comparison, and Approaches to Globalization

2022 || Hardcover || Neilesh Bose || Leiden University Press

In the twenty-first century, terms such as globalization, global, and world function as key words at the cusp of new frontiers in both historical writing and literary criticism. Practitioners of these disciplines may appear to be long time intimate lovers when seen from pre and early modern time periods, only to divorce with the coming of Anglophone world history in the twenty-first century. In recent years, works such as Martin Puchner’s The Written World, Maya Jasanoff’s The Dawn Watch,...

A Transnational History of Food Aid and Development, c. 1890-1950

2023 || Hardcover || Joanna Simonow || Leiden University Press

The task of ending famine in India was taken up by many at the beginning of the twentieth century. Only decades earlier, famine in India had been believed to be a necessary evil.

Nobel Genius

Prizes, Prestige and Scientific Practice

2024 || Hardcover || Nils Hansson e.a. || Leiden University Press

Awards shape careers, make research visible, and create role models. They provide evidence of prestige and credit and play a key role in evaluating individual scientists. Nevertheless, the understanding of prize cultures in science has remained surprisingly superficial. This book explores the prize cultures of the most famous scientific award worldwide: the Nobel Prize. It contributes to modern approaches in history and sociology of science that focus on the social context of scientific pract...

Landscape, Land-Change and Well-Being in the Lesser Antilles

2018 || Hardcover || Charlotte Eloise Stancioff || Sidestone Press Dissertations

In the Caribbean region, landscape change is part of the region's history. The Caribbean exemplifies man-made changes to landscape, beginning with Amerindians, continuing to the importation of exotic species through the colony area, extreme land degradation caused by sugar plantation, forced settlement of millions of enslaved Africans, diverse populations of indentured laborers, and continued mixing of cultures from globalized interactions today, such as tourism. This has led to not only inte...
