Catalogues and Short Lists: Science & Ideas

Scarce works in Science and Ideas. From botany and zoology to Darwinism, evolution, genetics and human biology to books on geology, evolutionary science, physics, medicine, astronomy, mathematics and technology.

Sotherans has a long tradition of dealing with fine science books stretching back to 1906, when work began on our Bibliotheca Chemico-Mathematica. This exhaustive bibliography, which was published between 1921 and 1952, remains an important resource.
