#FinishedReading this #HistoryOfScience on the non- Western contribution to science from 1450 on; stories range from brutal exploitation of indigenous biological knowledge to scientists like SN Bose who worked in more collaborative and acknowledged ways. Prose is a little pedestrian and academic but the material is really interesting. Not impressed with the erasure of Rutherford's New Zealand nationality though! #Bookstodon @bookstodon

Excerpt from book, describing Ernest Rutherford as British and using this as an example of a non-European scientist (in this case, Hantaro Nagaoka) not gettting proper credit for discoveries.
