Drawing on archival research, interviews, and fieldwork at Javanese volcanoes and in scientific observatories, Bobbette explores how Indonesian Islam shaped the theory of plate tectonics, how Dutch colonial volcanologists learned to see the earth in new ways from Javanese spiritual traditions, and how new scientific technologies radically recast notions of the human body, distance, and the earth.
