Manual of the New Zealand Flora 2 Part Set

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2011. Facsimile Edition. Original Wrappers. ISBN: 1108037526. 1199 pages. 2 Volumes. Stamped Damaged to verso title pages. Light shelfwear. Otherwise as new; Paperback; Octavo; Thomas Cheeseman (1846__1923) , who moved to New Zealand in childhood, was a figure of vital importance for the study of the natural history of New Zealand. Appointed curator of the newly founded Auckland Museum in 1874, he built up its natural history collections on collecting trips, and published over 100 books and papers on botanical, zoological, and ethnographical subjects - work of importance not only for botanists but for the development of agriculture in New Zealand, and for an understanding of the native ecology of the country. He was commissioned by the government to replace Hooker's now outdated 1864 New Zealand Flora, when Thomas Kirk died before completing such a handbook. Building on his local studies, he published this two-volume work, which contained descriptions of 1, 551 flowering plants, 20 pines, and 156 ferns and fern allies, in 1906. He was awarded the Gold Medal of the Linnaean Society in 1923.. As New with no dust jacket .

DARVIN, CARLS [CHARLES DARWIN]; NEDELJKO DIVAC (TRANSLATOR) ; BORIVOJE NEDIC (EDITOR)

Postanak Vrsta Pomocu Prirodnog Odabiranja ILI OdržAvanje Povladivanih Rasa U Borbi Za ŽIvot [on the Origin of Species - 1st Bosnian Edition]

Beograd: Prosveta. Izdavacko Preduzece Srbije, 1948. 1st Bosnian Edition. Original Quarter Cloth with Printed Boards. With plate & folding genealogical table. Lacks errata slip. Pages yellowed as normal for age. Covers slightly worn & somewhat stained to top right hand corner back cover. Some foxing on front cover. ; GPTThe 1948 Bosnian edition of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species," titled "Postanak vrsta pomocu prirodnog odabiranja ili Održavanje povladivanih rasa u borbi za život," marks a significant historical and cultural milestone as the first translation of this seminal work into Bosnian. This rare edition not only made Darwin's revolutionary ideas on evolution and natural selection accessible to a new audience but also did so in a period marked by post-war reconstruction and ideological shifts in the region. The translation encompasses Darwin’s original theories, which propose that species evolve over time through natural selection, where traits beneficial for survival and reproduction are preserved, leading to gradual changes in the species. This Bosnian version is collectible not only because of its historical value but also due to its rarity and the context of its publication. Released shortly after World War II, it reflects the era's hunger for scientific knowledge and the intellectual rebuilding that was taking place across Europe. As a collectible, it holds immense value for historians, collectors, and scholars interested in the dissemination of scientific thought across different languages and cultures. This edition serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Darwin's work and the global appetite for scientific advancement, bridging language barriers and cultural divides.

Keningale on front pastedown. With coloured frontispiece with protective fly-leaf & plate & b/w illustrations & vignettes. First & last few pages lightly foxed. Slight rubbing to top right hand corner front cover. A little wear & soiling to spine on back cover. A very attractive leatherbound copy of a rare work. ; GPT"Snakes: Curiosities and Wonders of Serpent Life" by Catherine Hopley, published in 1882, provides a comprehensive exploration of the natural history and cultural perceptions of snakes. Hopley's work is a seminal blend of scientific inquiry and personal narrative, offering detailed descriptions of various snake species, their behaviors, and environments. She discusses the physiology and habits of snakes with precision, while also addressing the myths and fears commonly associated with these reptiles. The book aims to educate and fascinate, debunking misconceptions and presenting snakes as both biologically fascinating and ecologically vital. Hopley’s text is notable for its thorough research and accessible presentation, making it valuable not only to the scientific community but also to general readers interested in natural history at the time. Her work stands out for its early advocacy of snake conservation, emphasizing the importance of understanding and preserving these often-misunderstood creatures. Catherine Hopley (1817-1911) was an English author and illustrator, known for her contributions to herpetology and education. She spent a significant part of her life in the United States, where she developed an interest in natural history, particularly in the study of snakes. Hopley was one of the few women of her time to write extensively on zoological subjects, and her works include both scientific treatises and educational texts for children. Her writing is marked by a meticulous attention to detail and a clear, engaging style. Beyond her scientific interests, Hopley also published novels and contributed articles to periodicals, showcasing her versatile literary skills. Her legacy includes pioneering contributions to the public's understanding of natural science, particularly herpetology, at a time when the field was predominantly male-dominated.; 20.2 x 14.5 x 4 cms; 614 pages.

NILSSON, G_RAN E. (EDITOR)

Respiratory Physiology of Vertebrates : Life with and without Oxygen

Respiratory Physiology OF Vertebrates : Life With And Without Oxygen: Cambridge University Press, 2010. 1. Original Boards. 334 pages. With illustrations. Stamped Damaged on verso title page. Crease in top right hand corner back free endpaper. Small spot of damage to bottom back cover. ; Kindle Edition; How do vertebrates get the oxygen they need, or even manage without it for shorter or longer periods of time? How do they sense oxygen, how do they take it up from water or air, and how do they transport it to their tissues? Respiratory system adaptations allow numerous vertebrates to thrive in extreme environments where oxygen availability is limited or where there is no oxygen at all. Written for students and researchers in comparative physiology, this authoritative summary of vertebrate respiratory physiology begins by exploring the fundamentals of oxygen sensing, uptake and transport in a textbook style. Subsequently, the reader is shown important examples of extreme respiratory performance, like diving and high altitude survival in mammals and birds, air breathing in fish, and those few vertebrates that can survive without any oxygen at all for several months, showing how evolution has solved the problem of life without oxygen..
