Ann Downer-Hazell ~ Editor for the Life Sciences and Health
Ann Downer-Hazel


I acquire books in life sciences including natural history, non-primate animal behavior, and evolutionary and organismic biology, with a strong emphasis in entomology. I also seek books on consumer and public health medicine; history of medicine; and history of life sciences, especially the history of evolutionary theory, history of genetics and microbiology, and history of science in England and the United States since 1900. I also welcome proposals for books on marine biology, botany/ethnobotany, paleontology, and microbiology.

Michelle J. Alpert, M.D., and Saul Wisnia
