A smart first edition of this vastly illustrated volume on birds and parasites, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. First edition. Illustrated with ninety-nine photographs, four maps, and twenty-two in-text figures. Collated complete. A detailed study of the animals and insects living in intimate association with the bird and may prosper at its expense. With chapters on parasitism, commensalism, symbiosis, the effect of the parasite on the host, and the origins and evolution of parasites. Written by Miriam Rothschild, a British botanist, entomologist, and zoologist, considered a leading authority on fleas as the first person to understand the flea's jumping mechanism, and Theresa Clay, an English entomologist and zoologist. In the original green cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light shelf wear to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is sound with light shelf wear and the odd small closed tear to the extremities. Light sunning to the spine and the odd mark to the panels. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd handling mark. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 878T29
