SCIENTIFIC FRONTIERS |
| Anatomical Chart Company
Here you can buy the same anatomical and medical props used in TV shows, movies, schools and hospitals. If a life-size skeleton is not a wacky enough gift for that mad scientist on your list, you can choose from chocolate body parts, finger bone pens, and other items. |  |
| The Bone Room
This is a place where you, the ordinary person, can discover secrets of the natural world that are usually the province of scientists, explorers and museum curators. They sell more than just bones: you will find insects, fossils, shells, fossil and bone casts, and animal remnants.
From rare butterflies to skeleton jewelry to the Glow-in-the-Dark Tarantula Paperweight, you are sure to find something for the amateur naturalist, would-be sorceress, or bug-loving child on your holiday list. The Bone Room also sells gift certificates. |

Lindsay Publications
A unique publisher of fine technical books, new and old, "for experimenters, inventors, tinkerers, mad scientists, and a very few normal people." Their list includes many rare reprints of original 19th- and early 20th-century guides to building machines from radios and Tesla coils to lathes and locomotives, and much more. Lindsay knows this territory extremely well; he even claims to process his orders on a steam-powered computer!
These books are for serious "gear-heads" only, but even if you have trouble using a can-opener you will enjoy this catalogue for Lindsay's quirky sense of humor. And you may just find that perfect gift for the engineer on your holiday list. Do order promptly, because Lindsay's books are rare and titles go out of print at the drop of a hat! |

Prometheus Books
The leading publisher in philosophy, science and critical thinking, Prometheus has more than 1,000 books and journals in print, with an average of 100 new titles a year. As the name implies, Prometheus Books publishes titles that stimulate the intellect and encourage independent thought. The company has earned the prestigious endorsements of Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan, while championing the great works of Antony Flew, Martin Gardner, Sidney Hook, and John Dewey. Prometheus also publishes skeptics such as James Randi and Dr. Stephen Barrett, much-needed antidotes to the New Age foolishness that abounds in bookstores. |
