James A. Mears selected 4,679 important works in plant taxonomy from Stafleu and Cowan's Taxonomic Literature (second edition). These works are included in this microfiche collection. The collection has been analyzed and individual works are best found using the guide to the collection. The catalog record link below is a canned search on the series title.
Emma Hart Willard pioneered expanding women’s education to include the teaching of science and mathematics. Willard’s Troy Female Seminary, founded in 1821, became a model for its academic program shattering the then popular myth that women were not fit to handle academic subjects. In 1866 she was elected an honorary member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
This set, Series I of the Renaissance Man microfilm collection, contains the reconstructed library of John Dee. The reconstruction is based on Roberts & Watson’s John Dee’s Library Catalogue published by the Bibliographical Society, London, in 1990. Dee was a pioneer of scientific exploration in Renaissance England and an avid collector of contemporary and historic works of scientific value. Manuscripts and books include works by Roger Bacon, Aristotle, Euclid, and a host of other scholars in the Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek schools of thought. These works are the originals from Dee's library and many contain his own annotations. The collection covers a wide range of subjects, including alchemy, arithmetic, astronomy, geometry, mathematics, medicine, music theory, navigation, numerology, the occult, optics, rhetoric, and theology. CRL has all parts of Series I.

The History of Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) is an eclectic discipline, with faculty working with an extensive range of sources and utilizing a variety of methodologies. The history of science attracts a broad range of interest in its various domains, from philosophy and mathematics, to physical and biological sciences, to technology and agriculture. Scholars are interested in all eras of history, from the pre-modern era to the 20th and now into the early 21st century.
