The Spectrum of Thought--Coloring Books for the Sciences.

JF Ptak Science Books    Quick Post

I posted a little joking note in one of my posts today about coloring books for the history of science, and the excellent Michael Barton pointed out that one exists for Charles Darwin.  I was very pleasantly surprised! I then went hunting to see what else was available, and found a whole heck of a lot for the sciences, and then some. 

And so I'm trying to compile an alphabet of coloring books in the sciences.  This is the start:

A is for Anatomy

There's a bunch more following, all lifted from Amazon or some such source.  More to come.  

B is for Biology
