New York University Press is not particularly well know for its activity in the publication books about natural history or the history of science; however that doesn’t mean that they are completely without interesting works in these areas, and as they are offering a 60% discount during their Summer Sale for 2025, it’s well worth the time spent browsing their catalogue to see what piques your interest. I spent a little time doing so and noted a few titles and certainly piqued mine:
- Creating the Creation Museum; How Fundamentalist Beliefs Come to Life by Kathleen C. Oberlin
- Paranoid Science; The Christian Right’s War on Reality by Antony Alumkal
- Dance of the Dung Beetles; Their Role in Our Changing World by Marcus Byrne and Helen Lunn
- Cloning Wild Life; Zoos, Captivity, and the Future of Endangered Animals by Carrie Friese
- Urban Beekeeping and the Power of the Bee by Lisa Jean Moore and Mary Kosut
I could go on, but I’ll let you takeover from this point. Remember, the sale only lasts until the end of August so it would be prudent to attend to this promptly, lest the book – or books you want are sold to others before you make your decision.
If you enjoyed reading this, please consider signing up for The Well-read Naturalist's newsletter. You'll receive a helpful list of recently published reviews, short essays, and notes about books in your e-mail inbox once each fortnight.
