1887022505Broadway Ludgate Hill London; and New York: George Routledge & Sons 1887. With an introduction by Henry Morley. Small octavo pp 286 2 page publisher's catalogue top edge gilt the other edges untrimmed a modern signature on the front endpaper publisher's quarter vellum and blue cloth the spine rather age-toned and rubbed. Originally published in 1844 this work of speculative natural history and philosophy brought together various theories of stellar evolution with the progressive transmutation of species in an accessible narrative which tied together numerous scientific theories of the age. It was initially well received by polite Victorian society and became an international bestseller but its unorthodox themes contradicted the natural theology fashionable at the time and were reviled by clergyman and subsequently by scientists who readily found fault with its amateurish deficiencies. 'Vestiges' caused a shift in public opinion which - so Charles Darwin believed - prepared the public mind for the scientific theories of evolution by natural selection which followed from the publication of 'On the Origin of Species' in 1859. The authorship of 'Vestiges' was finally revealed in the 12th edition of 1884. For a full account one should read James Secord's 624 page "Victorian Sensation" 2000. . Quarter vellum. Good.

1991021388Cambridge University Press 1991. Well illustrated with maps and photographs thick quarto pp xx 672 extremely clean internally green cloth in very good condition the dustwrapper is very bright and clean. A heavy book - extra postage may be required. New Zealand with its long isolation from other lands and latitudes extending from subtropical to sub Antarctic has a unique flora and highly diverse vegetation. This book is a comprehensive description of that vegetation ranging from its origins to the major communities within which the plants exist. The text supported by over 300 photographs maps and diagrams has made an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the biology of these islands. This is a reprint of the volume originally published in 1991. Chapters 1 - 4 describe the New Zealand environment flora and fauna. They discuss the origin relationships life forms and reproductive aspects of the indigenous vegetation. Chapter 5 is a synopsis of vegetation types habitat classes and environmental processes; it also serves to define the terms that are described in the book. Chapter 6 contains an outline of the geographic divisions of the country. Chapters 7 - 9 offer expanded descriptions of plant communities preceded where appropriate by information on their structure and characteristic species and genera. The concluding chapters discuss ecologic functions and processes. Vegetation of New Zealand is an essential book for botanists ecologists conservationists and others who love New Zealand's plants animals and landscapes. There will also be a large audience outside New Zealand. Its natural vegetation is unique; because of this and the longevity of its evolutionary history it has always attracted considerable global interest. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good.

De Candolle was also among the first to recognize the difference between the morphological and physiological characteristics of organs. He ascribed plant morphology as being related to the number of organs and their positions relative to each other rather than to their various physiological properties. Consequently this made him the first to attempt to attribute specific reasons for structural and numerical relationships amongst organs and thus to distinguish between major and minor aspects of plant symmetry. To account for modifications of symmetry in parts of different plants an occurrence that could hinder the discovery of an evolutionary relationship de Candolle introduced the concept of homology. De Candolle originated the idea of "Nature's war" which influenced Charles Darwin and the principle of natural selection. de Candolle recognized that multiple species may develop similar characteristics that did not appear in a common evolutionary ancestor; a phenomenon now known as convergent evolution. During his work with plants de Candolle noticed that plant leaf movements follow a near-24-hour cycle in constant light suggesting that an internal biological clock exists. Though many scientists doubted de Candolle's findings experiments over a century later demonstrated that "the internal biological clock" indeed exists. First British edition. Cloth. Good.
