Description
For one hundred years Scottish medical explorers were at the forefront of exploration within the British Empire, as exemplified by these five individuals. Throughout the century of exploration, Britain concentrated on expanding its already extensive global empire, and leading this movement were the men of Scotland. Over half of the British explorers from this era were Scottish and often doctors who had received their training at Scottish universities.
A key factor was that the British Imperial Century required a new type of explorer and although trade and profit were still significant considerations, new focuses like economic botany and voyages exclusively for the sake of science took precedence. Losing Sight of the Shore shines a light on this most productive and adventurous era while providing detail and context about the people and the times in which they lived.
