The Press of the Scottish Science Society

Nonfiction entire, printed as if it mattered.

168 works in print across thirteen fields: history, the sciences, medicine and pathology, law and economic theory, mathematics at every level, and a series of treatises upon the scientific calculator. In print and as eBooks, and in the Press’s own forms, the narrated edition and the video book.

How to order

Ordering and delivery in full
  1. Choose your edition

    Open a book and choose paperback or hardback. Where there is a Kindle edition, its page says so and leads you to Amazon.

  2. Pay by card or Pix

    Cards are taken on the secure pages of Stripe; the Press never sees the number. Readers in Brazil may pay by Pix through their own bank.

  3. Printed for you, and posted

    The Press keeps no warehouse. Your copy is printed to order by Lulu and sent from the printer directly to your door.

Ibero-American Revivals

The translations charter

Where a master of the Hispanic or Luso-Brazilian tradition stands untranslated, or is served only by a rendering more than fifty years old, the Press commissions the work anew. Cajal’s counsel, da Cunha’s backlands, the pathology of Chagas and the sanitation of Cruz are announced for 2027, with the apparatus a scientific text deserves.

27 editions are in preparation, beside the Scottish Enlightenment Library and the Classics of Method.

Editions in every medium

Beside its printed books and Kindle editions the Press records narrated editions of its own, and has devised the video book: the narrated text joined to a continuous procession of painted plates.
