More than just a mountain lover, he devoted time and efforts to observing and measuring, and published extensively. His work reflects a time when science was becoming global, fuelled by curiosity and exploration in the wake of the European discovery of the Americas. Scheuchzer\u2019s research adopted the new methods of the early modern academies \u2013 travel, correspondence, surveys, and writing in the vernacular. By comparing Alpine plants, animals, and minerals with exotic specimens, he disclosed their medicinal and therapeutic virtues and benefits. Through his eyes, the Alps became more than a rugged landscape \u2013 they turned into a site of scientific discovery, shaped by global exchange and early national ambition. The story of how we came to understand the mountains is also a story of how science itself expanded and evolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viella.it\/libro\/9791254696590\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Please follow this link to access the open access version of the book.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simona Boscani Leoni, Interconnected Worlds.
