It is my pleasure to inform you of the recent publication of a special issue of Atlantic Studies dedicated to science and medicine in the Atlantic world: “Itineraries of Atlantic science – new questions, new approaches, new directions.” This special issue contains 5 original essays, an editorial introduction, an interview with Bernard Bailyn, a set of collective reflections on the 2009 Harvard International Seminar on Atlantic History, and three book reviews. Two additional essays, which because of space constraints were not able to be included in this issue, are forthcoming in volume 8.1. Please distribute this message to those who you think may be interested.
For those whose institutions subscribe to Atlantic Studies, the essays can be accessed in PDF at the following link:
