Jesuits and the Book of Nature: Science and Education in Modern Portugal offers an account of the Jesuits' contributions to science and education after the restoration of the Society of Jesus in Portugal in 1858. As well as promoting an education grounded on an "alliance between religion and science," the Portuguese Jesuits founded a scientific journal that played a significant role in the consolidation of taxonomy, plant breeding, biochemistry, and molecular genetics. In this book, Francisco Malta Romeiras argues that the priority the Jesuits placed on the teaching and practice of science was not only a way of continuing a centennial tradition but should also be seen as response to the adverse anticlerical milieu in which the restoration of the Society of Jesus took place.
