| Abstract |
Links the struggle to understand the nature of corals to the development of scientific understanding and the emergence of the “new sciences” from 1600 to the 20th century. The history acts as case study to understand why changes in scientific thought occurred and how they impacted on scientific challenges and understandings. Strong focus on the impact of these developments, especially in the fields of taxonomy, ecosystem analysis, oceanography, climate science, nuclear technologies. |
