No dustwrappers. Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "Scott's legacy has been buffered to and fro like the Antarctic wind over the past 100 years. In the aftermath of his death which was not known about back home for almost another year he was hailed as a hero by a declining Empire desperately in need of one. In later years he has been traduced as an incompetent indecisive amateur. Somewhere between the two a middle ground can be found emphasising his team's scientific discoveries and the extreme conditions they faced without either condemning or cheerleading. Regardless it is difficult not to feel a small Edwardian lump rising at the back of your throat when you read one of the final diary entries: 'Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale.'" - Iain Hollingshead Smith Elder & Co. Ltd., London, 1913. hardcover‎

Volume II. xiv 2 376 8 pages. Footnote. Appendix. Index. Maps and illustrations collated and found to be complete. Some page discoloration noted. Large volumes and boards show some weakness. This is a heavy set and if sent outside of the United States would require additional shipping charges. With photogravure frontispieces 6 original sketches in photogravure by Dr. E. A. Wilson 18 coloured plates 16 from drawings by Dr. Wilson 260 full page and smaller illustrations from photographs taken by Herbert G. Ponting and other members of the expedition panoramas and maps. Name of previous owner Ralph Steinhardt Jr.--possibly the member of the Special Engineer Detachment of the Manhattan Project stationed at Los Alamos during WWII inside front covers. Preface by Sir Clements R. Markham. Volume I appears to have a typographical error in the colour illustrations with the item differently title and the page given as 288 instead of its location at 238. Leonard Huxley 11 December 1860 - 3 May 1933 was an English schoolteacher writer and editor. Huxley's major biographies were the three volumes of Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley and the two volumes of Life and Letters of Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker OM GCSI. He also published Thomas Henry Huxley: a character sketch and a short biography of Darwin. He was assistant master at Charterhouse School between 1884 and 1901. He was then the assistant editor of Cornhill Magazine between 1901 and 1916 becoming its editor in 1916. Captain Robert Falcon Scott CVO 6 June 1868 - c. 29 March 1912 was a British Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery expedition of 1901-04 and the Terra Nova expedition of 1910-13. On the first expedition he set a new southern record by marching to latitude 82°S and discovered the Antarctic Plateau on which the South Pole is located. On the second venture Scott led a party of five which reached the South Pole on 17 January 1912 less than five weeks after Amundsen's South Pole expedition. A planned meeting with supporting dog teams from the base camp failed despite Scott's written instructions and at a distance of 162 miles from their base camp at Hut Point and approximately 12.5 miles from the next depot Scott and his companions died. When Scott and his party's bodies were discovered they had in their possession the first Antarctic fossils discovered. The fossils were determined to be from the Glossopteris tree and proved that Antarctica was once forested and joined to other continents. Before his appointment to lead the Discovery expedition Scott had a career as a Royal Navy officer. In 1899 he had a chance encounter with Sir Clements Markham the president of the Royal Geographical Society and learned of a planned Antarctic expedition which he soon volunteered to lead. His name became inseparably associated with the Antarctic the field of work to which he remained committed during the final 12 years of his life. Following the news of his death Scott became a celebrated hero a status reflected by memorials erected across the UK. Dodd, Mead and Company hardcover‎

‎Hopousia; or The Sexual and Economic Foundations of a New Society‎

‎London: George Allen and Unwin Ltd 1940. First Edition. Octavo 24cm.; publisher's cloth in cream dust jacket printed in green; 475pp.; photographic portrait frontispiece. Light chipping to jacket extremities shallow tear at bottom of pp. 9/10 not approaching text else a Very Good or better copy in the scarce jacket. Posthumously published and unfinished sequel to the author's "Sex and Culture" 1934. The later text attempts to answer the question as put by Huxley in his introduction "What are the conditions which must be fulfilled if a society is to go on displaying maximum energy for an indefinite period" p. 17. Thus does Unwin describe a Utopia in which sex is made available by two forms of marriage monogamous and polygamous which citizens can choose and change at will. This way: "The rulers of the world are made free by this structure to focus on the maintenance of a sustainable state" www.sf-encyclopedia.com. Ultimately however Unwin argues that the most advanced societies are those that strictly adhere to monogamy sexual freedom depleting the civilization's energy. BROMER B.59.1.
