James Poskett - Horizons: A Global History of Science

This is a remarkable book which turns much of what you thought you knew about scientific history on its head. It is a classic example of how social movements such as Black Lives Matter can transform how historians, scientists and academics approach questions and how readers engage with them. I will say this is likely to be one of my reading highlights of 2022.

I reviewed Horizons for SWP Long Reads you can read it here.
