- Double-weighted statement
- I would like my monograph 'Science at the End of Empire' to be double-weighted because it entailed the analysis of a large body of material. The primary sources used for this 90,000 word book were located in archives in Trinidad, Barbados and the USA, as well as in the United Kingdom, necessitating several lengthy research trips and prolonging the data gathering process. In addition, the volume covers an area in which there is practically no previous scholarship and so no existing narrative. Reconstructing a history that had not previously been told by any scholar was a difficult process.
