Among the Hills: A Book of Joy in the High Places. - First Edition. Dedication Copy With Beautiful Original Ink Drawing. Headley Brothers, London, [nd] 1911. 8vo., [vi], 326 pages, and 1 page of publisher's ads. Illustrated with photographic plates as well as 14 colour plates of paintings by two artists, the latter mounted to teal-grey linen leafs with tissue guard. Publisher's original teal cloth, gilt title to front and spine. [Later editions were printed on ordinary paper rather than the finer production mounted in this first edition; tissue guards were also omitted.] Slight shelf wear to spine, otherwise in very good and original condition, a pleasing volume with a splendid drawing. The front end paper features a charming ink drawing of two birds fluttering over a river, by a skilled artist. The artist is identified only as A.J., who dedicates the volume to E. Horace Walpole, 1-10-1912. The recipient is perhaps the illegitimate son of Horatio Walpole (1813-1894) 4th Earl of Oxford (second creation) and Lady Susan Hamilton Douglas (1814-1889) wife of the 5th Duke of Newcastle. Research to this effect is warranted to substantiate. Farrer's narrative recounts a six week exploration in the Gratian, Cottian and Maritime Alps looking for particularly rare and precious plants, so stated in his first chapter. Written for the cultivator and lover of plants who share his passion, as opposed to the collector of samples, his work is a beautifully written and highly detailed account of the plants' features, habitat, preferred conditions for growth, and so forth. At the end of the work he evidently felt it necessary to dispel an accusation of having devastated regions in the valleys of the Alps, a charge which contradicted the very essence of his work.

8vo. 6 pages, plus 2 large folding diagrams. A rare separate offprint printed for the Royal Geographical Society. Publisher's blue titled wrappers, string-tied and bearing the society's crest. Some light foxing, otherwise in very good and original condition. The results from these observations were crucial in providing confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity, which Albert Einstein had proposed in 1916. The author, a respected astronomer and well-known authority on comets, renders praise to the primary research and calculations of Major S.C.N. Grant in 1896, which forms the basis for his dissertation. With meticulous and detailed instruction Crommelin presents a simplified method to predict and decipher the instantaneous and momentary occultation of stars. He further introduces the application to the Solar Eclipse phenomenon. Exceedingly rare dissertation by an important nineteenth century astronomer. Six years prior to Crommelin's study, Grant published a six page report and illustration, titled "Diagram for Determining the Parallaxes in Declination and Right Ascension of a Heavenly Body, and its Application to the Prediction of Occultations." Crommelin was famed for his computations of cometary orbits. He took part in expeditions to observe total solar eclipses in 1896, 1900, 1905, 1912, and 1927. In 1919 he participated in the solar eclipse expedition to Brazil which aimed to determine the amount of the deflection of light caused by the gravitational field of the Sun.

Grant in 1896, which forms the basis for his dissertation. With meticulous and detailed instruction Crommelin presents a simplified method to predict and decipher the instantaneous and momentary occultation of stars which greatly simplifies the detremination of Longitude at Sea.

Biotechnology is a range of enabling technologies that will find significant applications in many industrial sectors. It is a technology in search of new applications and the main benefits lie under future. The applications of biotechnology are so broad that virtually every industry is using this technology. Developments are underway in areas as diverse as pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, textile, aquaculture, forestry, chemicals, household products, environmental cleanup, food processing and forensics to name a few. Biotechnology holds significant promises to the future but must be carefully regulated so that the maximum benefits are received with least risk. Designed for students, teachers and researchers of modern life sciences, this book is an explorative journey through biotechnology. It focuses on various biotechnological techniques and applications which have the potential to provid real benefits to the mankind. The present book provides an insight into a number of core and important areas of biotechnology. It begins with basic scientific concepts, then guides reader through multi-staged biotechnical applications and finally explores the effect of biotechnology on today’s society and on future generations.

- De l'Imprimerie de M. F. Gorrin, Chambéry 1772, in-8 (12x20cm), (4) XI ; 184pp., relié. - Edition originale non citée par Quérard qui propose la date de 1773. Reliure en plein veau blond moucheté d'époque. Dos lisse orné d'une pièce de titre de maroquin rouge. Petits fers figurant des chardons et des glands ainsi que des étoiles dorées. Toutes tranches marbrées. Une garde légèrement désolidarisée et un coin frotté. Le médecin savoyard Joseph Daquin, outre son statut de créateur de la médecine psychiatrique dite aliéniste, présente un intérêt tout particulier pour le thermalisme et l'hygiène médicale. C'est en constatant la méconnaissance des eaux thermales et leur prescription aveugle qu'il a décidé de mettre en oeuvres ses recherches et de proposer son Analyse. Il évoque notamment dans cet ouvrage les thermes romains d'Aix les Bains, nationaux jusqu'au XIXe siècle qui furent redécouverts par hasard l'année de la publication de son étude.

Hardback, VI+238 p., 301 b/w ill., 160 x 235 mm. ISBN 9782503525396. This work by Jeremias Held (Henry Green, no. 74) is the second German translation of the emblems of Andrea Alciato, who is rightfully known as pater et princeps of the emblem. The first German translation was written by Wolfgang Hunger and published by Chrestien Wechel in a bilingual Latin-German edition in Paris in 1542. Held's version, printed in 1566 and 1580, has never before been offered in its entirety in a modern reprint. It, too, is a bilingual edition with the Latin texts followed by Held's German version. Jeremias Held produced this, the second German translation, which appeared in a 1566 and a 1580 edition. The 1566 edition was printed in Frankfurt-am-Main by Georg Raben for Simon Huter and Sigmund Feyerabend. The colophon is dated 1567. Held's version contains 132 woodcuts in text to Alciato's 212 emblems, and they are numbered i-ccxvii. The numbering of the emblems has caused some confusion. Henry Green (190) hastily called the number 217 a misprint, but it is not. The number 217 is correct and derives from the separate numbering of the alternative versions of the epigrams, which Alciato had labled ?aliud,? to four of the emblems. Held's written German is simple and colloquial. In fact it is sloppy. In matters of orthography, we cannot know if the typesetting accurately represents his intentions, but it probably does. Languages : English, Latin.
