Weston was originally a thread-hosier of Leicester but in some of his anonymous works describes himself as "a country gentleman". In 1773 he was living at Kensington Gore but later was living at Leicester where he was secretary of the local agricultural society. From the number of his published works it is evident he had a very wide knowledge of plants and plant literature. Blanche Henrey 1490 - "Richard Weston 1733-1806 appears to have had an excellent knowledge of nursery gardening and nurserymen's sale catalogues. He was interested in agriculture and all forms of horticulture and he also made a study of horticultural and botanical literature.Weston's first important published work appeared in 1769 anonymously. This was his Tracts on practical agriculture and gardening. At the end of this volume and in subsequent editions of the work is a very useful 'Catalogue of English authors.on husbandry gardening botany and subjects relative thereto''. This catalogue is greatly extended in this rare second edition. Second edition. Half-Leather. Good. S. Hooper, 25 Ludgate-Hill Hardcover

2004014736London: Kluwer Academic Publishers 2004. Cloth/Laminated Boards. Like New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book Dorothy Wertz and John Fletcher pioneered the first international study of ethical and social issues in genetics in 18 nations. This book reports and discusses their second and more representative study in 36 nations. The survey focused on actual situations that occur in the practice of medical genetics presented as case vignettes that can also be used in teaching and policy discussion. Among the issues discussed are privacy prenatal diagnosis patient autonomy directiveness in counseling sex selection forensic DNA banking "genetic discrimination" and "eugenics". This is Dorothy Wertz's final book as she died in April 2003. It is a one of a kind cross-cultural study of complex ethical issues in the uses of genetic information. No one else has attempted to look at the international aspects of medical genetics on such a broad scale. The results provide a resource for discussion both within and among nations. Much bioethical and policy discussion now occurs in an information vacuum. The survey showed that what people would do and their reasons for doing it differed considerably from what ethicists think they "should" do. Many will be surprised at the results especially in nations where bioethical discussion is just beginning. "Genetics and Ethics in Global Perspective" is of interest to medical geneticists genetic counselors social scientists and anthropologists who study cross-cultural issues bioethicists and bioethics centers and health policy makers. 474pp. Kluwer Academic Publishers hardcover
1849023028The Wernerian Club 1849. Published in three parts with title page printed in red and black and dated 1849-50. Octavo 143 pages slight occasional age-toning on the text pages two small marginal stamps of Worthing Public Librarybut otherwise extrmely clean internally. Recently bound in an attractive dark green loire cloth very slightly marked. RARE. The most complete edition in any language. Originally published in German in 1774 - "Von den äusserlichen Kennzeichen der Fossilien" - it was later translated by Thomas Weaver Dublin 1805 which had the benefit of incorporating manuscript corrections by the author himself additions which he had circulated amongst his pupils notes taken during his lectures in 1791-92 and hints from the mineralogies of his disciples Wiedenmann and Emmerling. This final edition published by the Wernerian Society incorporates these additions into the same text making them as near as might be to the same text. RARE. The Wernerian Natural History Society 1808 - 1858 commonly abbreviated as the Wernerian Society was a learned society interested in the broad field of natural history and saw papers presented on various topics such as mineralogy plants insects and scholarly expeditions. The Society was an offshoot of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and from its beginnings it was a rather elite organization. This publication was probably the last they produced as there were no meetings from 1850-1856 which coincided with the decline of the president Robert Jameson. It was eventually decided to close the Society down and dispose of its assets. Werner 1749 - 1817 was a German geologist who set out an early theory about the stratification of the Earth's crust and propounded a history of the Earth that came to be known as Neptunism. While most tenets of Neptunism were eventually set aside Werner is remembered for his demonstration of chronological succession in rocks; for the zeal with which he infused his pupils; and for the impulse he thereby gave to the study of geology. He has been called the "father of German geology". Cloth. Very Good. The Wernerian Club Hardcover
1978019122The Hague: W. Junk 1978. Two volumes large octavo pp xvi 1439 a slight mark to one fore-edge otherwise very clean internally brown cloth in excellent condition the dustwrappers are slightly rubbed and age-toned. SCARCE. A heavy set - extra postage may be needed. Southern Africa is certainly not a naturally bounded area so that there are several possibilities for delineating it and concepts about its extent. Wellington discussed the various possibilities for delineation and suggested that one line stands out more clearly and definitely as a physical boundary than any other namely the South Equatorial Divide the watershed between the ZaIre Cuanza and Rufiji Rivers on the one hand and the Zambezi Cunene and Rovuma Rivers on the other. This South Equatorial Divide is indeed a major line of separation for some organisms and is also applicable in a certain geographical sense though it does not possess the slightest significance for many other groups of organisms ecosystems or geographical and physical features of Africa. The placing of the northern boundary of southern Africa differs in fact strongly per scientific discipline and is also influenced by practical considerations regarding the possibilities of scientific work as subordinate to certain political realities and historically grown traditions. This is illustrated for example in such works as the Flora of Southern Africa where the northern boundary of the area is conceived as the northern and eastern political boundaries of South West Africa South Africa and Swaziland. Botswana traditionally included in the area covered by the Flora Zambesiaca thus forms a large wedge in 'Southern Africa'. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Slightly Worn. W. Junk Hardcover
