    This book consists of a collection of 8 essays devoted to a variety of sites where 18th century naturalists, scientists, technicians and scholars performed their work. In the introduction the editors justify their choice of very different case studies by emphasizing the importance of focusing on the local circumstances of scientific practice. All the essays are almost exclusively dealing with French and English case studies.
