Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Hardcover. Bound in black cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Spine is faded to sun-kissed gray. Binding good and tight. This is an ex-library copy from Fairfield University Library. There are faint handwritten white lettering on the spine, inside a rectangle that is slightly less faded than the rest of the spine. Red rubberstamp on the front endpaper says Withdrawn from Fairfield Univ. Library. Title page has 1964 acquisition stamp in red; preface page has library number at bottom margin. Rear endpapers have library pocket and card on both free and attached endpapers (showing that the book was checked out 14 times between 1964 and 1973). Pages 132-135 have quite a bit of underlining. Text block crisp and square. 409 numbered pages and unnumbered final page of index. Pages clean (except the underlined essay). Title page dated 1963. Copyright page states First American Edition. It was published in England by a different publisher in the same year; it's not perfectly clear which was first (although the Ciba foundation was based in the UK, so it's likely the UK edition came out ahead of the US one). Contains the essay Biological Possibilities for the Human Species in the Next Ten Thousand Years by JBS Haldane, which is thought to be the first serious discussion of human cloning. Also contains essays by Julian Huxley and Nobel Prize winner Hermann J.Muller. The essay with all the underlining is Artur Glikson's Man's Relationship to His Environment. Scare first US edition of this important collection. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that its an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book (although they sometimes get right). Oversized and overweight books will require extra shipping for safe delivery.
