Listopia > Humanistic Approach to Sciences

Hard/natural sciences made accessible to the polymath-to-be by introductory level university manuals. Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, you name it... plus evolutionary approaches to Psychology/Psychiatry, Anthropology, etc.

Rules of thumb: if the title is begins with the terms ''Critical'', ''Theory'', ''Social'' or any combination of these, or displays an ellaborate, attention seeking front page signaling that it wasn't conceived as a university manual, it doesn't belong in here.
