Nature and the godly empire : science and evangelical mission in the Pacific, 1795-
1850
/Sujit Sivasundaram
"Nineteenth-century historians have described how science became secular and how scientific theories such as evolution justified colonialism. This book changes this narrative by offering the first sustained account of the relationship between nineteenth-century science and Christianity outside the Western world. It focuses on the intrepid missionaries of the London Missionary Society who reverently surveyed the oceans and islands of the Pacific and instructed converts to observe nature in order to interpret God's designs. Sujit Sivasundaram argues that this knowledge functioned as a popular science that was inextricably linked with religious expansion.

The construction and fitting of the sailing man of war 1650-
1850
/ Peter Goodwin.
"Contrary to popular belief, wooden shipbuilding did not remain static during its last two centuries, but developed in many quite fundemental respects. For the modelmaker and technical historian who have long sought the precise details of these changes, this book will answer most, if not all, of their questions. Every aspect of the building process if covered, with considerable space devoted to the exact sizes of timber scantlings and fastenings, and is illustrated in depth with the author's own engineering-standard drawings, and is photographs of models and surviving full-size vessels. Devised as a companion to James Less' Masting and Rigging, this book will do for hull construction what Less did for warship top-hamper."--Back cover
