Descrizione libro Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Slightly rubbed. Second reprint, 1970. Illustrated, octavo, pp xiv, 274, very clean internally, green cloth, a very faint line running down the upper cover (a minor production fault), otherwise in excellent condition. The dustwrapper is price-clipped, the spine is slightly age-toned, the lower cover a little marked. Oveall a very attractive copy. [The ideal handbook and guide for students of palaeontology and naturalists - or, for that matter, anyone who ever goes for a walk in the country or the sea-side with an eye for fossils. You can find fossils practically everywhere in the British Isles, and Britain's geological structure is so richly varied that in our beaches, cliffs, rocks and mud-flats are creatures and organisms of all ages, from pre-Cambrian times 500 million years ago down to the present day. The term fossil includes all organisms, or even their traces, which are permanently preserved in nature - petrified ferns and fishes of the Palaeozoic Age; bees set in a pine-tree's resin; a woolly rhinoceros, completely preserved in the frozen mud of Northern Siberia, from the furry covering of its body to the last meal taken in its stomach. There can be few things more fascinating than recognising and interpreting these relics of all stages of the world's evolution, and Professor Swinnerton has provided here an ideal handbook and guide for students of palaeontology and naturalists - or, for that matter, anyone who ever goes for a walk in the country or the sea-side. This is not merely a text-book - Professor Swinnerton is already the author of a standard work on palaeontology but in this volume he gives us a straightforward historical account of fossils; they are classified, described, explained and copiously illustrated with photographs and drawings. Starting from the earliest British fauna, he follows the evolution of plants and animals up to the appearance and culture of Homo Sapiens. At the same time, the author pays tribute to the great discoveries of the past, from Leonardo da Vinci to Cuvier and William Smith. Many of these were laymen, whom accidental finds prompted to go fishing in the Palaeozoic and Esozoic seas which form our land today.]. Codice articolo 014387

Descrizione libro First edition, 1960. Hardback. xiv, 274pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Please note this jacket is from the 1970 reprint - NOT the first edition - it lists NN1 - 50 on the rear panel rather than NN1 - 41). Britain's geological structure is so richly varied that in our beaches, cliffs, rocks and mud flats are creatures and organisms of all ages, from pre-Cambrian times of 500 million years ago to the present day. The term fossil includes all organisms, or their traces, which are permanently preserved in nature - petrified ferns and fishes of the Palaeozoic Age; bees set in a pine tree's resin; a woolly rhinoceros completely preserved in the frozen mud of Northern Siberia. There can be few things more fascinating than recognising and interpreting these relics of the world's evolution. This is a great handbook and guide for naturalists and students of palaeontology - or, for that matter, anyone who ever goes for a walk in the country or at the sea side. One colour plate plus 135 black & white photographs and 21 text figures. Jacket design by Clifford and Rosemary Ellis. Book in very good condition. Other than some very minor soiling to the text block edges, this is a very clean and bright copy of this scarce first edition. Dust jacket near fine and unclipped. Unusually free of colour fade to the ochre on the spine. Very slight discolouration to the white on the spine. Rear panel lightly soiled. (Jacket from 1970 reprint). Book. Codice articolo 1308259
