Dawn Digrius invites proposals for single-authored books and edited collections concerning the historical examination of plants, animals and humans including but not limited to: natural history, evolutionary theory, genetics, environmental sciences and the role that social, economic, and political forces played in knowledge production; she is also interested in practices of science and science in practice, from a historical perspective, bioethics, biotechnology and molecular biology in their historical context.

The series spans historical examination of non-Western science and brings together insights from historians and philosophers to shed light on significant developments and issues in the life sciences. Contributions from both established and younger scholars are welcome.

Please contact Sophie Rudland at Pickering & Chatto Publishers srudland@pickeringchatto.co.uk or Dawn Digrius ddigrius@calstate.edu to discuss an idea or send a proposal.
