Discover the rich history and diverse experiences of scientists and scholars conducting fieldwork across various disciplines. This collection offers insights into the practice of on-site data gathering through observation, spanning centuries and continents.
An exploration of fieldwork's role across multiple scientific and scholarly fields.
For hundreds of years, fieldwork and expeditions have been vital research methods embraced by experts from a wide range of disciplines. Whether in biology, botany, geology, geography, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, or folklore studies, collecting data directly from the field remains a cornerstone of scientific inquiry.
This volume features 17 essays written by 17 different scholars, each representing nearly as many fields of knowledge. Together, they weave a compelling narrative about experiences in "the field," covering periods from the early modern era to today.
Journeying across the globe-from Europe and Asia to the Arctic, Africa, and the Americas-the book delves into how scientific, political, social, cultural, and personal motivations have influenced, and continue to influence, our quest to explore, understand, and utilize the world.
