Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, Volume III, 1863-1867
Various
Gold-rush California grew a scientific society, and here are its early minutes. This volume of the California Academy's proceedings records meetings from 1863 onward, new plant species like a native Melica grass, and a sharp critique of the census on mineral output. A lively record of frontier science taking root. Sit in on the birth of West Coast natural history.
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.
