Descrizione
About The Book: "Travels in Peru and India" by Clements Robert Markham is a vivid account of his mission to collect cinchona plants in Peru and introduce them to India for quinine production—vital in combating malaria. The book combines botanical insights with cultural observations and travel experiences across South America and India. Markham documents the landscapes, local customs, and logistical challenges, offering both scientific and narrative value. It reflects his dedication to imperial science and colonial public health improvement during the 19th century.
