[Robert Chambers]

Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation [AND] Explanations: A Sequel to (2 Volumes)

John Churchill, London, 1846-1860. Eleventh and Second Edition, Hardcover. Good Condition. 20.5cm x 12.5cm. iv, 286, [2], lxiv pages, 106 figures in the text. Original blindstamped green cloth, gilt lettering. 20.5cm x 12.5cm. vii, 205 pages, 10 advertisements. Original blindstamped purple cloth, gilt lettering. Vestiges, published anonymously, had an enormous influence on Charles Darwin, first published in 1844 and here greatly enlarged. This edition (the second to be illustrated) was published just following the publication of Darwin's Origin and is Chambers; final revision of the text. A twelfth edition, published in 1884 following Chambers' death, reprints this text and acknowledges his authorship. // Chambers had planned to respond to criticisms of his work by publishing a series of letters to the 'Times' followed by a pamphlet of a hundred or so pages, however Churchill convinced the anonymous author (through his friend Alexander Ireland) that it should be issued in book form, printed and bound similarly to the original. Explanations was duly issued in 1845, and was followed by this slightly altered version in 1846. By then the fifth edition of 'Vestiges' was ready and the two works were often reviewed together, the publisher going so far as to suggest a combined volume, however his anonymous author pointed out that the arguments were already incorporated in the new edition. Vestiges with minor soiling and some rubbing to cloth. Minor cracking to lower hinge, still firm. Minor soiling to interior. Explanations with soiling to cloth and discolouration to spine. Tail edge of upper board partially scraped. Stamp of the Estate of G. R. Gill. Some foxing and soiling, mostly to preliminaries and advertisements. Shipped Weight: .8 kilos.

The Lives of Fungi: A Natural History of our Planet's Decomposers

Princeton University Press, Princeton, 2022. First Edition, Hardcover. New Book. 9780691229843 25cm x 20cm. 288 pages, colour illustrations. Pictorial glossy papered boards. "A fascinating and richly illustrated exploration of the natural history of fungi. We know fungi are important, for us as well as the environment. But how they live, and what they can do, remains mysterious and surprising. Filled with stunning photographs, The Lives of Fungi presents an inside look into their hidden and extraordinary world. The wonders of fungi are myriad: a mushroom poking up through leaf litter literally overnight, or the sensational hit of umami from truffle shavings. Alexander Fleming cured infections with mold and spiritual guides have long used psychedelic mushrooms to enhance understanding. Then there are the tiny threads of fungi, called hyphae, that create a communications network for the natural world while decomposing organic matter. Combining engaging and accessible text with beautiful images, The Lives of Fungi lays out all the essential facts about fungi for the mycologically curious."
