Abstract
There is a fundamental aspect of the early modern Iberian World that continues to be overlooked if not actively ignored in Anglophone historical scholarship: science. Thus, use of the word “explorations” in the subtitle of Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra’s Nature, Empire and Nation is fitting since this book discusses largely unexplored historical terrain.
