    Abstract : This thesis explores the history of botany as a global collection-based science by tracing parallels between utopian traditions and botanical collecting, from their sixteenth-century beginnings to the present.

  5. 3. A Critique of the Live Project

    Author : James Benedict Brown; Ruth Morrow; Queen’s University Belfast Architecture & Civil Engineering School of Planning; []
