This is a collection of historic and modern biology books. Many of these books are currently out of print and hard to obtain from public libraries or book sellers. They have either been typed or entered via optical character recognition software (OCR). (...) All of these books are published here for common benefit, to help students of biology and teachers in learning and research, there is basically no commercial interest and the pages are free from any advertisements. To further enlarge this collection I am mostly dependent on unpaid work done by friends and helpers. All coauthors are acknowledged within the individual texts. ... [Information of the supplier]
Gallica, the encyclopaedic scholarly library offers access to all kinds of media: print (monographs, journals and newspapers) in text and image formats, manuscripts, audio, images, maps and plans.

Accordingly, it provides access to: a) items not under copyright, including those released via negotiation and digitised by the French National Library, either within the scope of mass digitisation programmes or to guarantee their continued existence; b) collections of cooperation public institutions (libraries, research institutes and so on) that were selected for their scientific complementarity and technological compatibility with the collection of the National Library. Although these items can be found in Gallica or via OAI-PMH, they are still contained within the partner institutions. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]

Linus Pauling began his professional life studying atoms, and ended it best known for his thoughts on medicine. Linking these two fields was a central body of work on the nature of human blood. During the most productive thirty years of his life, between the mid-1930s and mid-1960s, Pauling's research in this area not only advanced our understanding of how the blood works at the molecular level, but branched and blossomed into vital discoveries about immunology, sickle-cell anemia, genetics, evolution, and human health. Incorporating more than 300 scanned documents, photographs, audio clips and video excerpts, this web resource includes images of a number of very important and extremely rare items, most of which are held within The Valley Library's Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers, many of which have not been previously displayed. The site is designed to serve as both an introduction to an important body of work and as a reference tool for students, teachers, physicians, scientists, and members of the general public interested in the history of modern medicine. ...
