In The First Nine Installments Of Poul Anderson's History Of Technic Civilization:
human psychology in "The Saturn Game"
Ythrian biology in "Wings Of Victory"
Ythrian theology in "The Problem Of Pain"
cultural exchange in "How To Be Ethnic In One Easy Lesson"
economics in "Margin Of Profit"
geometry in "The Three-Cornered Wheel"
astronomy in "A Sun Invisible"
Ivanhoan theology in "The Season Of Forgiveness"
Diomedean biology in The Man Who Counts
And, in my opinion, those nine works should comprise Volume I of the History of Technic Civilization. Merseians and Ythrians are what the Technic History has instead of Klingons and Vulcans - or maybe Chereionites are closer to Vulcans? Star Trek is sometimes good but the Technic History is always better.
Blog readers might detect that I am currently preoccupied with other activities. Thus, posts are fewer and shorter. But there is no intention for the blog to slow to a halt.
