196495688Amsterdam: Elsevier Publishing Company 1964. First edition of this collection of Nobel Lectures in physiology or medicine from the years 1942-1962. Thick Octavo original yellow cloth. Signed by all three Nobel Prize-winning scientists Francis Crick James D. Watson and Maurice Wilkins on the title page. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962 "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material."Fine in a very good dust jacket with some closed tears and toning to the spine. An exceptional piece signed by these Nobel Prize-winning scientists. In the early 1950s the race to discover DNA was on. At Cambridge University graduate student Francis Crick and research fellow James Watson had become interested impressed especially by Pauling's work. Meanwhile at King's College in London Maurice Wilkins b. 1916 and Rosalind Franklin were also studying DNA. The Cambridge team's approach was to make physical models to narrow down the possibilities and eventually create an accurate picture of the molecule. The King's team took an experimental approach looking particularly at x-ray diffraction images of DNA. Watson and Crick took a crucial conceptual step suggesting the molecule was made of two chains of nucleotides each in a helix as Franklin had found but one going up and the other going down. Crick had just learned of Chargaff's findings about base pairs in the summer of 1952. He added that to the model so that matching base pairs interlocked in the middle of the double helix to keep the distance between the chains constant. Watson and Crick showed that each strand of the DNA molecule was a template for the other. During cell division the two strands separate and on each strand a new "other half" is built just like the one before. This way DNA can reproduce itself without changing its structure -- except for occasional errors or mutations. The structure so perfectly fit the experimental data that it was almost immediately accepted. DNA's discovery has been called the most important biological work of the last 100 years and the field it opened may be the scientific frontier for the next 100.

1796284291796. Small quarto. 4pp. Single folded sheet. Contemporary manuscript notations. Light soiling and wear. Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. The text contains the deliberations and acts of the colonial assembly of the island at a time when it was operating virtually independent from France. The acts all concern measures to be taken for the defense of the island at a time when British invasion was feared. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton the Dutch abandoned the colony in 1710. The French soon claimed it as "Ile de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the 19th century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base and as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810 and the Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the 20th century agricultural production was expanded to include tea rice and other produce. Printing began on Mauritius in 1768. During the French period until 1810 only about 400 imprints were produced mostly in the form of official documents and newspapers though there are also almanacs and a few other items. All are quite rare. No copies located in OCLC and not recorded by Toussaint in his bibliography of Mauritius imprints. unknown books
