About the Project
| Project Title | New World Nature |
| Description | Student researchers for Professor MacKenzie Cooley's New World Nature project examined the relationships between natural things and their environments to reconstruct how early moderns learned from the nature in which they lived at the dawn of the biological disciplines.
