Small nicks to margins of titlepage. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a milestone paper in genetics being the "REDISCOVERY" OF MENDEL'S LAWS OF HEREDITY" - This paper together with the two other papers from the same year by Carl Correns and Erich Tschermak laid the foundations of a new scientific discipline that in 1906 was given the name "genetics" and less than a century later rose to become the leading science in Western society. This French announcement was published 4 days before his longer paper "Das Spaltungsgesetzt der Hybride" in which Mendel is mentioned.De Vries completed most of his hybridization experiments without knowing about Mendel's work. Based on his own results de Vries drew the same conclusions as Mendel. De Vries published his work in 1900 first in French then in German. In the French report there was no mention of Mendel but this was amended by de Vries in the German paper. It is possible that de Vries read Mendel's paper before he published his own and included Mendel's name in the later printing when he realized that other people also knew about Mendel's work. De Vries may have thought that his own conclusions were superior to Mendel's. "During the 1880s de Vries became interested in heredity. In 1889 he published Intracellular Pangenesis in which he critically reviewed previous research on inheritance and advanced the theory that elements in the nucleus ‘pangenes’ determine hereditary traits. To investigate his theories he began breeding plants in 1892 and by 1896 had obtained clear evidence for the segregation of characters in the offspring of crosses in 3:1 ratios. He delayed publishing these results proposing to include them in a larger book but in 1900 he came across the work of Gregor Mendel published 34 years earlier and announced his own findings. This stimulated both Karl Correns and Erich von Tschermak-Seysenegg to publish their essentially similar observations."

1993008837London: Chapman & Hall 1993. A few text illustrations small thick quarto pp xxvi 550 hardbound in original laminated boards an exceptionally good copy. Our requirement for plant breeders to be successful has never been greater. However one views the forecasted numbers for future population growth we will need in the immediate future to be feeding clothing and housing many more people than we do inadequately at present. Plant breeding represents the most valuable strategy in increasing our productivity in a way that is sustainable and environmentally sensitive. Plant breeding can rightly be considered as one of the oldest multidisciplinary subjects that is known to humans. It was practised by people who first started to carry out a settled form of agriculture. The art as it must have been at that stage was applied without any formal underlying framework but achieved dramatic results as witnessed by the forms of cultivated plants we have today. We are now learning how to apply successfully the results of yet imperfect scientific knowledge. This knowledge is however rapidly developing particularly in areas of tissue culture biotechnology and molecular biology. Plant breeding's inherent multifaceted nature means that alongside obvious subject areas like genetics we also need to consider areas such as: statistics physiology plant pathology entomology biochemistry weed science quality seed characteristics repro ductive biology trial design selection and computing. It therefore seems apparent that modern plant breeders need to have a grasp of wide range of scientific knowledge and expertise if they are successfully to a exploit the techniques protocols and strategies which are open to them.

190344335Jena Gustav Fischer 1903. Lex8vo. Fine contemp. hcloth. spine gilt and with gilt lettering. 668 pp. textfigs. Internally clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First edition of a groundbreaking work in genetics in which Johannsen introduces the concept of "pure line". Johannsen's work is dedicated to Francis Galton "the creator of the exact science of heredity". Johannsen was the first to attribute to mutation the origin of the small differences in the continous kind of variability characteristic of normal heredity."Yet Johannsen had shown that Galton's "law of regression" was wrong when applied as Galton had done - to impure or mixed populations. He proved that selection was ineffective - that is regression to parental averages was complete - only in the offspring derived by self-fertilization from a single parent as in peas beans and other "selfers." The offspings and descendants from such a plant Johannsen referred to as a "pure line". His theory was that offspring of a pure line were genetically identical and that fluctuating variability among such offspring was due to effects of change and enviromental factors. These effects were not heritable and hence were not subject to the action of selection either natural or artificial."DSB VII p. 114.Garrison & Morton No. 242. </em> hardcover

1819020733Princes Street Corner of Gerard Street Soho: J. Callow 1819. First edition. Illustrated with 12 engraved plates several of them folding octavo pp xxiv 579 i slight age-toning to the front endpaper the half-title and the frontispiece otherwise very clean internally neatly bound in a recent brown half-leather and cloth. With the bookplate of Robert Washington Oates on the front endpaper. Sir William Lawrence 1st Baronet FRCS FRS 1783 -1867 was an English surgeon who became President of the Royal College of Surgeons of London and Serjeant Surgeon to the Queen. In his mid-thirties he published two books of his lectures which contained pre-Darwinian ideas on man's nature and effectively on evolution. In 1819 the second book known by its short title of the Natural history of Man caused a storm of disapproval from conservative and clerical quarters for its supposed atheism and within the medical profession because he advocated a materialist rather than vitalist approach to human life. He was linked by his critics with such other 'revolutionaries' as Thomas Paine and Lord Byron. It was "the first great scientific issue that widely seized the public imagination in Britain a premonition of the debate over Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection exactly forty years later". It contained some remarkable anticipations of later thought but was ruthlessly suppressed. To this day many historical accounts of evolutionary ideas do not mention Lawrence's contribution. He is omitted for example from many of the Darwin biographies from some evolution textbooks essay collections and even from accounts of pre-Darwinian science and religion. Although the only idea of interest which Darwin found in Lawrence was that of sexual selection in man the influence on Alfred Russel Wallace was more positive. Wallace "found in Lawrence a possible mechanism of organic change that of spontaneous variation leading to the formation of new species". First Edition. Half-Leather. Very Good. J. Callow Hardcover
