Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsr�kker en s�regen Form for Opfostringen i de lavere Dyrklasser. On Reproduction and Development through Alternation of Generations a Special Form of Propagation in Lower Animals.
Copenhagen Bianco Lunos 1842. 4to. Recent half cloth with contemporary marbled boards. Light browning throughout. Small ink signature on title-page. IV76 pp. and 3 double-page folded lithographed plates with many figs. Withbound: Steenstrup Unders�gelser over Hermaphroditismens Tilv�relse i Naturen 1845. XIV88 pp. and 1 plate. � The scarce first edition of the work in which Steenstrup describes his discovery of the principle of 'alternation of generations' sexual and asexual in plants and animals. <br>"Steenstrup showed that certain animals produce offspring which never resemble them but which on the other hand bring forth progeny which return in form and nature to their grandparents or more distant ancestors." Garrison & Morton No 217. A German translation was published the same year and an English in 1845. Norman 2009 German translation. <br><br>"The second major publication - the first dealing with geology - of 1842 was "Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsr�kker." the work offered Steenstrup's comprehensive presentation of the form of reproduction that he called 'alternation of generations' that is the alternation of asexual and sexual reproduction or metagenesis. This phenomenon had previously been described by Chamisso but Steenstrup included a greater number of observations based on a significantly wider range of subjects and provided an importent chapter on its meaning. Steenstrup's growing reputation won him an appointment as professor of zoology at the University of Copenhagen where he tought from 1846 until 1885."DSB XII p. 9. hardcover

Stephanie Kaza.
The Attentive Heart: Conversations with Trees.
New York NY Ballantine Books: Fawcett Columbine 1993. Hardcover First Ed; First Printing indicated. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY AUTHOR at title page. First Ed; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. Book shows former owner's gift inscription at front free endpaper; else a bit of very faint spotting at top edge; binding square and secure; text clean. DJ shows a small stray mark at lower front face and some barely discernible soiling; price unclipped; mylar-protected. Overall very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 258pp. Illustrated by Davis Te Selle. Hardback with DJ. Readers who feel a kinship with trees will be captivated by these "conversations." Now a professor of environmental studies at the University of Vermont Kaza bases most of these meditative essays on experiences she had in California. With a Buddhist reverence for living things she follows the Zen practice of shikantaza --just sitting--to find serenity and inspiration among trees. She observes the change of seasons with a stately gingko re-visits a commune to renew her acquaintance with a tan oak and madrone dreams as she leans against a massive blue oak. On Arbor Day Kaza joins a group planting redwood seedlings; she makes a pilgrimage to Methuselah Grove to see bristlecone pines and to Yosemite for whitebark pines. Other encounters include red firs alders and sycamores. This is a beautifully written imaginative appreciation of trees. This book records a series of the author's intensely personal sometimes spiritual relationships with individual trees. Her approach is based on her experience as a practitioner of Zen meditation techniques. Kaza's training as a naturalist however gives her essays a more realistic bent; she recognizes the many uses of wood as a raw material--for paper furniture fuel lumber etc.--and does not dismiss the human uses of trees as an evil. Her descriptions of the trees and the life around them and in them are accurate and lyrical although the writing is almost too poetic and intense in spots. This is not a book to be read straight through; it should be dipped into at reflective moments like a book of poems. Notes in the back constitute a bibliography of sorts. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY AUTHOR. Ballantine Books: Fawcett Columbine, hardcover

Stephen David
Wild Animals and Their Ways
London: Collins 1959. Hardcover. Very Good. Used. Very Good/No Jacket. A comparitively rare volume nowadays in which the author writes about various wild animals to be found in Britain - their habits and lifestyles. Written in a homely but authorative style that draws the reader into the lives of these animals this was probably meant for older children but there's a lot the adult reader could learn from the author's meticulous observations. Here you will read about the fox; badger; pine martin & polecat; stoat & weasel; the otter; the wildcat; squirrels; red deer; fallow deer; and roe deer; the brown hare; mountain hare; the rabbit; brown rat; the mole; mice voles & shrews; and finally the hedgehog. An attractive feature of the book are the many black-and-white and colour illustrations including four double-page colour by the artist Nina Scott Langley. Altogether a charming volume for nature lovers of whatever age. Contains 96 pages 27 x 21cm and illustrated throughout with colour and b&w artwork. Grey cloth boards in very good condition. No dust jacket. Internally very good: clean bright and unmarked in excellent bindings. <br /> Collins hardcover
