Michael Guenther received his B.A. from the University of Virginia, and his M.A. & Ph.D from Northwestern University. His research examines the social and political dimensions of science in the eighteenth-century British Empire. His broader fields of interest include environmental history, science and technology studies, print culture, and the age of Enlightenment. He is also seeking to close the gap between his avid interest in gardening and the meager results he seems to encounter each summer.
