Reviews
Everyday Nature carefully distinguishes between the in-depth scientific knowledge of scholars back in Oxford or Cambridge or Paris, the popular knowledge found in almanacs, newspaper articles, and self-help books in New York, and the knowledge used by Native Americans and African-American slaves in their daily lives. Gronim''s well-written volume introduces us to knowledge of the natural world in a different segment of colonial society than historians of science usually study., This volume is the first close study of American colonials'' beliefs and practices that spans the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. While deeply empirical, it also situates colonials within the larger Atlantic context., ...an admirable study of one colony's reception of and resistance to the wider Alantic scientific revolution., Everyday Nature carefully distinguishes between the in-depth scientific knowledge of scholars back in Oxford or Cambridge or Paris, the popular knowledge found in almanacs, newspaper articles, and self-help books in New York, and the knowledge used by Native Americans and African-American slaves in their daily lives.

Synopsis
In the modern world, the public looks to scientists and scholars for their expertise on issues ranging from the effectiveness of vaccines to the causes of natural disasters. But for early Americans, whose relationship to nature was more intimate and perilous than our own, personal experience, political allegiances, and faith in God took precedence over the experiments of the learned. In Everyday Nature, Sara Gronim shows how scientific advances were received in the early modern world, from the time Europeans settled in America until just before the American Revolution. Settlers approached a wide range of innovations, such as smallpox inoculation, maps and surveys, Copernican cosmology, and Ben Franklin's experiments with electricity, with great skepticism. New Yorkers in particular were distrustful because of the chronic political and religious factionalism in the colony. Those discoveries that could be easily reconciled with existing beliefs about healing the sick, agricultural practices, and the revolution of the planets were more readily embraced. A fascinating portrait of colonial life, this book traces a series of innovations that were disseminated throughout the Atlantic world during the Enlightenment, and shows how colonial New Yorkers integrated new knowledge into their lives., In Everyday Nature, Sara Gronim shows how scientific advances were received in the early modern world, from the time Europeans settled in America until just before the American Revolution.

The seller also messaged me as soon as the purchase went through so communication was great. This was the last book in the series that I needed and to be able to find it in such great condition and at a great cost was unexpected. Highly recommend this seller and will definitely buy from again in the future.MARTIN THE WARRIOR (REDWALL) By Brian Jacques - Hardcover **BRAND NEW** (#187149385105)

The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
