1964réf. acs247Springfield Illinois: Charles C. Thomas 1964. Octavo blue cloth hardcover gilt lettering xxvii 124 pp. Fine in a Fine mylar protected dust jacket with “American Lecture Series.” From dust jacket: It is only possible to understand life in all its forms by understanding it at its origin and in its development. by studying and reproducing the processes by which it arose. In this classic monograph Doctor Oparin describes in as great detail as achievements of contemporary science will allow the three stages in the evolution of organic substances which preceded the appearance of life on Earth. The emergence of the most primitive organic compounds the hydrocarbons and cyanides and their nearest oxygen nitrogen sulphur and phosphorus derivatives with comparatively low molecular weights. Further elaboration of these compounds associated with a progressive increaase in the size of their molecules owing to the polymerisation and condensation of organic substances in the waters of the primaeval seas and oceans the primaeval nutrient broth. Formation within the hydrosphere of multimolecular systems which arise by the association of different high-molecular organic substances into supra-molecular complexes marked off from their environment by a definite boundary of separation but capable of reacting with it as an open system Charles C. Thomas, 1964. hardcover books

An analysis of Khrushchev's astonishing "secret" 1956 speech in which he effectively suggested the USSR 'move on' from the near worship of leaders like Stalin and get back to work on building an unassailable system of collective leadership. Framed rather as an exposé of a new threat it is ironically one of the issues that led to the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union unable to exorcize itself of its socio-political ghosts and the incompatibility of a great past with any guarantee of a greater future.

Published for two American institutions: The National Science Foundation and The Department of Health Education and Welfare. First published in Russian in 1955. This publisher The Israel Program for Scientific Translations was founded by future mayor of Jerusalem Teddy Kollek in 1959. He is quoted in a 1970 article in The New York Times: "There was a keen need in the West for technically sound translations of Soviet scientific works soon after the launching of Sputnik. We had numerous immigrants with exceptional linguistic and scientific ability so we just put demand and supply together.” The venture began modestly—with a small government grant and five editors—but by 1970 had over 100 editors and published about 150 English-language titles a year. A nice copy of a relatively uncommon title. The Israel Program for Scientific Translations hardcover books
