Powers and Thrones by Dan Jones might hit what you’re looking for with medievalism

The Death and Life of the Great Lakes by Dan Egan for natural history and sciences!

Natural history & science - Pathogenesis by Jonathan Kennedy
It's an excellent read!

Medievalism - Marriage and the Family in the Middle Ages by Joseph & Francis Gies
This one is academic and dense

Any book by Mary Roach is usually pretty good. I really liked Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers.

For Victorian and Medicine, I enjoyed The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister’s Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine

For mythology and folklore, you might enjoy Girl God Book Anthologies. A number of the anthologies focus on a specific goddess or theme & include essays, poetry, & art from women around the world.

You can check out all their anthologies on their website, but I know they're also available on Amazon, as well.

I feel like the book “Mexican Gothic” covers the natural history+science and mythology+folklore aspect, it’s also a family drama + romance
