About This Item
Cleveland, OH World Publishing: Meridian , 1959. Paperback First Edition Thus, Seventh Printing [1970]. Very Good+ in Wraps: shows indications of very careful use: several pages mid-text have been dog-eared; mild rubbing and faint soiling to the wrapper covers; the price has been neatly removed from the front corner; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Remains a handsome reading copy. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 399pp. First Edition Thus, Seventh Printing [1970]. Trade Paperback. This superb study is at once a portrait of two great minds, a description of the genesis and dissemination of an idea, and a brilliant evocation of the era that saw the birth of the theory of evolution. A beautiful and exciting job - certainly the best attempt to look at Darwin and Huxley in the social and intellectual context of their time.
