Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), "naturaliste emblématique de la science victorienne" est relativement peu connu du grand public français, qui connait mieux son petit-fils, Aldous. Il joua pourtant un rôle essentiel dans la défense et la diffusion de la théorie de l'évolution, ce qui lui valut le surnom de "bouledogue de Darwin". Ses textes ont surtout été diffusés en France par Émile Alglave, directeur de la Bibliothèque scientifique internationale et de la Revue des cours scientifiques (Revue Rose). Exemplaire du prix décerné par les Écoles communales de Paris, avec armes de la ville sur le plat supérieur et étiquette de prix au contreplat : pour Rachel Deneufplanche, de l'école de fille de la rue Flocon.

1942rif. FB3806 /17Green cloth binding with gilt title on the spine FIRST EDITION This classic work by Julian Huxley first published in 1942 captured and synthesized all that was then known about evolutionary biology and gave a name to the Modern Synthesis the conceptual structure underlying the field for most of the twentieth century. Many considered Huxley's book a popularization of the ideas then emerging in evolutionary biology but in fact Evolution: The Modern Synthesis is a work of serious scholarship that is also accessible to the general educated public. It is a book in the intellectual tradition of Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley--Julian Huxley's grandfather known for his energetic championing of Darwin's ideas. A contemporary reviewer called "Evolution: The Modern Synthesis' the outstanding evolutionary treatise of the decade perhaps the century".This definitive edition brings one of the most important and successful scientific books of the twentieth century back into print. It includes the entire text of the 1942 edition Huxley's introduction to the 1963 second edition which demonstrates his continuing command of the field and the introduction to the 1974 third edition written by nine experts many of them Huxley's associates from different areas of evolutionary biology.

1965rif. 1128Boston: Beacon Press 1965. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Inscribed by Appleman on the front free endpaper: "For Don & Mary Alice fondly -- Phil." Uncommon signed and uncommon in hardcover in general. A book about the specter of overpopulation that predates Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb by three years and seems likely to have influenced it not least because of the similar title. The title is probably also an allusion to Silent Spring. With a foreword by Julian Huxley. From the jacket: "Until the fundamental problem--that of population control--is met Dr. Appleman stresses gifts and loans and programs to help underdeveloped areas increase food production and step up industrialization are only stopgaps." The book examines stances by both the Catholic church and Communists along the way. Appleman is perhaps best known as a poet and Darwin scholar and the entwining of the two; this is his first book. A near fine copy in blue paperboard and cloth spine with just a touch of rubbing to spine ends; in a near fine jacket. Beacon Press hardcover
