 BRG SCIENTIFIC was founded to advance scholarly works of  the highest intellectual quality. We place priority on books showcasing the topics of ecology, natural history, evolution, animal  behavior, and comparative biology written by vetted colleagues. Our team is driven by excellence of scholarship, not by volume of  sales. We strive to reach technical audiences as well as curious,  non-technical readers wishing to expand the horizons of their knowledge. We recognize that rigorous, well-researched science can also be pleasing to the eye and soul and that beautiful and  informative graphic illustrations complement and enhance the written narrative.
