1931017974London: Chatto & Windus. 1931. Nathanael West's copy of Huxley's collection of poetry with West's holograph notes on five of the front and rear endpages. Approximately 250 words mostly quotes of other writers -- Huxley Gray Shakespeare; some light but most quite serious: "In matters of love it is absurd to stand on your dignity and claim your rights. Such experiences cannot be judged and calculated like a matter of business. One gives as much and as long as one can & one does not bargain. Take what is given to you." West concludes with: "The paths of glory lead but to the grave." The year this book was published West published his first novel. Later in the 1930s both West and Huxley were employed as Hollywood screenwriters. West died in 1940 at the age of 37. The provenance of this book leads from West to his brother-in-law S.J. Perelman to the writer and bookseller George Sims who recounts the circumstances of his purchasing books from Perelman in the early 1970s presumably including this one. A photocopy of a note from Sims is laid in. Fading to spine spotting to cloth short tear to lower front joint; still very good without dust jacket. Publisher's extra spine label tipped to rear free endpaper. A wonderful glimpse of West's musings and inner life. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Chatto & Windus hardcover books

1931150293London: Cassell and Company Limited 1931. First edition of "the first modern textbook of biology." Quarto original cloth illustrated. From the library of James D. Watson with his ownership signature to the front free endpaper. James D. Watson was a molecular biologist geneticist and biophysicist best known for co-discovering the structure of DNA in 1953 alongside Francis Crick and Rosalind Franklin. Their groundbreaking work on the double helix model of DNA laid the foundation for modern genetics and revolutionized the biological sciences. Watson’s contribution to science particularly in the field of molecular biology earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 shared with Crick and Maurice Wilkins. Beyond his scientific achievements Watson also played a key role in advancing genetic research through his leadership at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. His work and subsequent publications including The Double Helix 1968 which provides a personal account of the discovery have sparked significant ethical debates in the scientific community particularly regarding his controversial views on genetics and intelligence. In very good condition. The Science of Life is a book written by H. G. Wells Julian Huxley and G. P. Wells gives a popular account of all major aspects of biology as known in the 1920s. It has been called "the first modern textbook of biology" and "the best popular introduction to the biological sciences". Wells's most recent biographer notes that The Science of Life "is not quite as dated as one might suppose". In undertaking The Science of Life H. G. Wells who had published The Outline of History a decade earlier selling over two million copies desired the same sort of treatment for biology. He thought of his readership as "the intelligent lower middle classes . not idiots half-wits . greenhorns religious fanatics . smart women or men who know all that there is to be known". Julian Huxley the grandson of T. H. Huxley under whom Wells had studied biology and his son "Gip" a zoologist divided the initial writing between them; H. G. Wells revised dealt with the help of his literary agent A. P. Watt with publishers and acted as a strict taskmaster often obliging his collaborators to sit down and work together and keeping them on a tight schedule. H. G. Wells had begun the book during his wife's final illness and is said to have used work on the book as a way to keep his mind off his loss. The text as published is presented as the common work of a "triplex author". H. G. Wells took 40% of the royalties; the remainder was split between Huxley and Wells's son. In his will H. G. Wells left his rights in the book to G. P. Wells. Cassell and Company Limited hardcover
