Publisher's Synopsis

The book demonstrates the whole horizon of knowledge that was relevant for the production and the use of saltpeter within European societies until the advent of Chilean saltpeter in the early 19th century. This knowledge is treated as a state and power related knowledge. Special interest is given to the localization, circulation, and the relation of practical, scientific and administrative saltpeter-knowledge.
