DARWIN Charles
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection,. or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Fifth Thousand. [Second Edition, Second Issue]. BRIGHT, FRESH COPY OF THE SECOND 'ORIGIN'
8vo., Fifth Thousand, [Second Edition, Second Issue], with folding diagram, neat contemporary signature in pencil at head of title, with second pencilled signature lower down, front free endpaper a little chafed at fore-edge, three or four small fox-spots each on half-title, title and diagram; original green cloth, boards elaborately blocked in blind, gilt back, , brown endpapers, uncut, expertly recased with original endpapers preserved, a remarkably bright, fresh copy in minimally restored publisher's binding. With 32pp publisher's catalogue (dated January, 1860) bound in at end, and the binder's ticket of Edmonds & Remnants on rear paste-down. The second edition, second issue is not so named on title but simply labelled 'Fifth Thousand'; Freeman records that 3000 copies were printed following the 1250 copies of the first edition. Although Darwin considered this edition a rapid revision to meet demand, his changes are much more than mere correction. 'The total number [of changes] in this edition is impressive enough. No chapter was untouched' (Peckham). The most famous alteration is the dilution of the whale bear passage on p.184, which Darwin later regretted although he never restored it. With the signed and ruled advertisements which Freeman considers the first issue. Freeman 113 variant a; Freeman F376.

This is the definitive text of the work, reproduced in the present edition. The Descent of Man is notable as the first of Darwin's works to contain (on p.1 of the Introduction in this edition) the word 'evolution' (see Freeman, p.30). Freeman, 268.

DAVID M. RORVIK
A SUA IMMAGINE. LA CLONAZIONE DI UN UOMO
DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. OTTIME CONDIZIONI, MAI SFOGLIATO, LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. FIRMA IN ANTIPORTA. Già da anni i biologi molecolari stanno indagando i segreti dell'informazione genetica, contenuta nella parte più riposta della cellula, il nucleo. I meccanismi della trasmissione ereditaria hanno ricevuto via via maggior luce, e gli scienziati sono riusciti, lavorando su batteri e su virus, a modificare le informazioni contenute nel modello cromosomico e a determinare, per cosi dire, mutazioni artificiali. I nuovi organismi creati in tal modo dall'uomo sono non meno vivi e vitali (e spesso non meno pericolosi) di quelli creati dalla natura. L'uomo è stato addirittura in grado di smontare organismi semplici e di rimontarne altri, formati da parti di diversi individui e ciò nonostante viventi (si sarebbe tentati di dire funzionanti). Si è scoperto che anche le cellule somatiche, pur essendosi specializzate nello svolgimento di determinati compiti, contengono l'informazione genetica sufficiente a costruire un individuo tutto intero. C'è chi è stato capace di fecondare un uovo di rana con una cellula somatica, ottenendo una rana perfetta. Ma la ricerca è andata ancora oltre: si è riusciti a togliere a un ovulo il suo nucleo e a introdurvi quello di una cellula somatica in fase di avanzata divisione, impiantando poi l'embrione in un utero. Questa operazione è stata eseguita sull'uomo? E ciò che afferma David Rorvik in questo volume, con l'abilità consumata del reporter. Nel laboratorio del dottor Darwin è nato il clone, l'uomo nuovo creato, per così dire, per riproduzione asessuata, l'uomo che non è figlio più che fratello gemello (identico, salva la differenza di età) di suo padre e che non ha alcun rapporto di affinità con la madre, la quale è stata per lui solo un ambiente e un mezzo di coltura. Un fatto sconvolgente e inquietante che dischiude la prospettiva di un mondo abitato da individui perfettamente identici e in cui tornano ad affacciarsi agghiaccianti progetti di eugenetica. Ma un mondo ricco anche di risvolti positivi: le possibilità sono infinite. Oggi, intanto, il primo clone è fra noi? David Rorvik, giornalista, è autore di alcuni libri divulgativi in campo scientifico. In edizione italiana sono apparsi I figli innaturali (Bompiani) e Il sesso del vostro bambino (in collaborazione con L.D. Shettles, Rizzoli). Nota dell'editore americano Nel 1977 David Rorvik venne negli uffici della divisione commerciale della J.B. Lippincott a New York e ci parlò dei fatti straordinari che sono raccontati in questo libro. Spiegò però che si era impegnato a non rivelare a nessuno l'identità delle altre persone che avevano avuto parte nella vicenda. Questa circostanza ci toglieva la possibilità di una verifica e ci impediva quindi di avallare il suo racconto dinanzi al pubblico. Discutemmo allora se accettare o no il libro di cui ci offriva il progetto a queste condizioni. Rorvik è un autore esperto nel campo della biologia umana e ha ricevuto premi e riconoscimenti per i suoi scritti nel campo dell'informazione scientifica. Il libro che ci proponeva di fare avrebbe suscitato inevitabilmente grandi controversie, ma avrebbe affrontato problemi scientifici, sociali, morali e religiosi di grande portata. questi problemi in un modo rivelatore e responsabile, e decidemmo di accettare la sua proposta. Eravamo convinti che Rorvik avrebbe trattato Il racconto che segue è sorprendente. L'autore ci assicura che è vero. Noi non sappiamo se sia cosi. Siamo però pienamente convinti che il libro da lui scritto stimolerà l'interesse e la discussione su problemi che hanno un'importanza estrema per il nostro immediato futuro.

Dawkins Richard
Il gene egoista. La parte immortale di ogni essere vivente
br. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel Regno Unito nel 1976, "Il gene egoista" ha modificato drasticamente il modo con cui gli scienziati - ma anche i non "addetti ai lavori" - leggono la storia dell'evoluzione. Il nocciolo centrale del saggio è oggi parte fondante dell'insegnamento della biologia in tutto il mondo, una logica derivazione del darwinismo che ha scelto di cambiare prospettiva, concentrandosi non sul singolo organismo ma osservando la natura dal punto di vista del gene. La deduzione scientifica è, per dirla con l'immaginifico linguaggio dell'autore, che noi siamo «macchine da sopravvivenza, robot semoventi programmati ciecamente per conservare quelle molecole egoiste note sotto il nome di geni». Rivolto a tre tipi di lettori - il profano, lo studente, l'esperto -, questo libro è pensato per stimolare con ironia l'intelligenza di chiunque si chieda qual è il posto dell'uomo nell'universo. Un saggio imprescindibile che riesce a semplificare e rendere accessibili complicati concetti scientifici, senza che ne vada perduta la sorprendente essenza.
