Not sure if Harold Cook's Matters of Exchange is intro text but it has lots of material to this point that can be excerpted, e.g. the Dutch VOC and knowledge of nutmeg cultivation in the Banda Islands.

logged in here for the first time in a while, will be posting on an occasional basis on the #STS and #history of #biology, #biotechnology, #cancer, and #biomedicine, but I am happy to be listening into more #histSTM conversations!

To kick things off, an OBG whose references to the logistics and infrastructure of supplies opened up new questions for me regarding how to fit laboratories into their host communities.
