1927Best.-Nr. 2360New York & London: Harper & Brothers 1927. First Edition. Near fine/Near fine. 8vo 7 3/8 x 5 1/4 inches 188 x 132 mm; 392 pp. Red cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine spine ends a little bumped. Original dust jacket printed in blue on yellow laid paper and protected in archival mylar cover. The fore-edge of the text block has deckled edges; pages evenly toned binding tight. In this book Huxley set out his vision of a modern scientific humanism to replace traditional revelation-based religion. He argues that advances in biology and evolution have made supernatural explanations unnecessary but that humans still need meaning ethical guidance and a sense of spiritual experience. Instead of relying on divine authority Huxley proposes a "religion" grounded in science reason and an evolutionary understanding of life. Sir Julian Sorell Huxley 1887-1975 was a prominent 20th century British evolutionary biologist eugenicist and science communicator. A key figure in the "modern synthesis" of evolution he was the first Director-General of UNESCO co-founder of the World Wildlife Fund WWF and a leading proponent of secular scientific humanism.

First appearance of a major paper on the Tunicates a group of underwater saclike filter feeders with incurrent and excurrent siphons that is classified within the phylum Chordata."In 1851 Huxley presented to the Royal Society two major papers on tunicates: "Observations on the Anatomy and Physiology of Salpa and Pyrosoma" and "Remarks upon Appendicularia and Doliolum of the Tunicata" the paper offered.The zoological position of Appendicularia had been most unsettled owing to its possessionof a tail. Huxley demonstrated that this tail is a retained larval feature lost by most adult ascidians. The significance of this urochordal structure in relation to the vertebrate pedigree did not become evident until later."DSB VI p. 590. unknown

Best.-Nr. 9786558301332BIBLIOTECA AZUL. new. O retorno de Huxley ao Admirǭvel mundo novo Quase trinta anos ap��s lan��ar sua obra-prima e um dos monumentos da fic��o cient�fica Aldous Huxley retorna ao seu Admirǭvel mundo novo. Neste livro Aldous Huxley se prop��e a avaliar as previs��es de sua obra original e trata sobre amea��as �� humanidade tais como a superpopula��o a manipula��o genǸtica e psicol��gica o uso de drogas prescritas como forma de controle social e a ascens�o de regimes autoritǭrios. Huxley compara sua distopia com a de George Orwell de quem fora professor e coloca lado a lado acertos e erros de ambas. Alguns dos temas de seu Admirǭvel mundo novo permanecem atuais e urgentes neste seu Retorno publicado em 1958. S�o assuntos que ainda repercutem em nosso tempo como o refor��o positivo de comportamentos e a flexibiliza��o da no��o de verdade. E de que forma atuam as redes sociais sen�o como refor��os de boa conduta e espa��o para veicula��o de mensagens falsas Ao lan��ar quest��es para o futuro prop��e que as na����es devem educar seus cidad�os para a liberdade sob risco de ca�rem na m�o de ditaduras. Esta edi��o traz notas que contextualizam dados e informa����es do texto original e tambǸm um posfǭcio escrito por Carlos Orsi pesquisador do Instituto Quest�o de Ci�ncia que contextualiza o exerc�cio especulativo de Huxley e tambǸm prop��e debates para o nosso tempo como a manipula��o emocional da publicidade a tecnologia a servi��o do controle total e o efeito de hipnose das redes sociais.
