Please read book details on flyleaf. Francis Huxley was a British botanist and anthropologist son of Julian Huxley and nephew of Aldous. Affable Savages is his first book. Book. Francis John Heathorn Huxley 28 August 1923 – 29 October 2016 was a British zoologist anthropologist and author. With a short professional career at St Catherine's College Oxford he is best known for his several anthropological expeditions to The Gambia the Amazon and Haiti among other places from which he wrote several notable books. NOTE: This is an original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don computer scientist food and wine connoisseur Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide 'Midsummer House'- Cambridge's paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. In 2008 Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation alongside other members of the Department and acted as the Foundation's Chair. The project's original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a "success disaster" as Jack would say as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK's most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning. The Scientific Book Club. hardcover

After Many a Summer tells the story of a Hollywood millionaire who fears his impending death. It was published in the United States as After Many a Summer Dies the Swan. Written soon after Huxley left England and settled in California the novel is Huxley's examination of American culture particularly what he saw as its narcissism superficiality and obsession with youth. This satire also raises philosophical and social issues some of which would later take the forefront in Huxley's final novel Island.

First US edition. 356 pp. octavo original maroon cloth. The story has been interpreted as contemptuous nod to the Hearstian reality of the United States in the early part of the 20th century: Jo Stoyte is an allegory for William Randolph Hearst by his acquisitions of art etc. and living in an opulent estatesimilar to Hearst Castlewith Virginia who can be taken as a parody of Marion Davies. Orson Welles may have been inspired by this novelafter RKO Radio Pictures rejected Welles's two earlier ideas for scriptsto write the screenplay for Citizen Kane with Herman Mankiewicz although their screenplay is very different from the novel. The novel won Huxley the 1939 James Tait Black Memorial Prize which boosted sales. This was the first book Huxley published after moving to California. American readers were fascinated it was his Hollywood novel skewering U.S. wealth immortality obsessions and LA culture. That made it especially marketable in the States.
