Appletons' Popular Science Monthly, December 1898
Various and William Jay Youmans
A sociologist maps the races of Europe; a traveler poles up the Skeena to the Tsimshian villages. This December 1898 Appletons' also weighs schoolyard playgrounds, the effect of light on plants, and fresh finds from the Stone Age. A cross-section of Victorian science and society. Open one issue and tour a restless century's mind.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
