In by the White Pass, out by the Chilkoot: the hard road to the goldfields opens this issue. The May 1899 Appletons' also bottles liquid air, surveys the West Indies, and takes up the birds and the origins of European culture. Restless science for a restless age. Cross the passes and turn the pages.

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.
