1763Full Title: "LIBELLUS, QUO DEMONSTRATUR: CICUTAM Non solum usu interno tutissime exhiberi, sed et esse simul remedium valde utile in multis morbis, qui hucusque curatu impossibiles dicebantur. Editio Altera. [BOUND WITH] Libellus Secundus. [BOUND WITH] Supplementum Necessarium. Three volumes in one." pp. (16), 110; 292; 67 + Wonderful folding engraved plate of the Giant Hemlock. Foxed. 8vo. Contemporary French full mottled leather binding, slightly worn at extremities. Manuscript of the first owner, a physician, (J. F.?) Coste. An important work on the medical properties and other aspects of hemlock, aconite, hyoscyamus, colchicum, etc. Before this publication, these plants were considered highly poisonous and had been rarely used in medicine owing to the difficulty of accurately estimating their doses and the danger this presented to the patient. Anton Storck, a 19-year-old Viennese doctor, in 1760 repeatedly sipped tea laced with hemlock, said to be the suicide drug of Socrates and believed in Storck's time to be beneficial against pain. The experiment so terrified Storck that he lost the ability to speak temporarily, but he suffered no lasting ill effects, and went on to publish this study. There is a direct line from Storck to the Americans Frederick Prescott and Scott Smith, who in the 1940s had themselves so paralyzed temporarily by curare that not even an eyelid could blink, thus demonstrating that the deadly poison could immobilize patients and revolutionize surgery. Throughout medical history researchers have served deliberately as guinea pigs because animal experiments can work only up to a point. Blake, p. 434; Waring 379. Quite scarce and important. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W153
1989192 pages. Explores the latest research of Cleve Backster, who by attaching a lie-detector to the leaf of a plant discovered that it had feelings and the ability to read our thoughts. Now this ability - primary perception - has been traced even to disconnected cells of our own bodies. The implications and possibilities of that discovery, and the difficult struggle it has had in finding acceptance in the tradition-bound scientific community makes exciting, challenging, mind-expanding reading. Unmarked. Crease to one page. Small bookseller's label inside front cover. Very light wear. Glossy illustrated covers. Nice copy. Book

1842rif. 45440Kjöbenhavn Bianco Luno 1842 a. 1845. 4to. Bound in one contemp. halfcalf spine gilt. A small tear to backhinge at lower compartment of spine. IV76 pp. and 3 double-page folded lithographed plates with many figs. XIV88 pp. and 2 double-apge lithographed plates with many figs. Light browning to the last leaves of the second work. 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. "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. "The second major publication - the first dealing with geology - of 1842 was "Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsrækker." 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. unknown
