Book Synopsis
Focuses on the early history of biological field stations and the role these played in the rise of zoological place-based research. The author examines the material and social context in which field stations arose, the actual research that was produced in these places. It tours through the history of studying nature in nature.

Trade Review
"This is an outstanding book. Impressively researched and compelingly written, it fills a major gap in the history of biology by showing us how place-based science developed in Europe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries." (Lynn K. Nyhart, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
