Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. This book presents an interesting blend of human physiology and human biochemistry specifically designed for students of medicine. It is definitely not simply a two-phase system of separate physiologic and biochemical information, but a true blending of the molecular and organismic aspects of the changes that occur in an organism as it reacts to changes in its environment. The text deals mainly with human physiology, but includes descriptions of experiments on other mammals and the frog. / Illustrated through out. /// This is a cloth-bound 6th edition hardback in good condition-the previous owner has written the name on the front 'end-papers'.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. First American Edition. [book is nice and clean, with just a touch of wear to cloth at extremities; jacket similarly nice, with small bits of edgewear here and there, minor smudging on spine, some visible wear and tiny paper loss at corners of front panel]. Novel playing on the "never-ending charm in the story of the royal lady who loves the commoner." He's a journalist who meets a lovely young princess from "Versailia -- a small country of Eastern Europe, given its independence by the Treaty of Versailles," while en route to England to claim a promised inheritance. When the inheritance falls through, he is sent as a foreign correspondent to (of course) Versailia, where he not only gets re-acquainted with the princess, but through "the strange course of fortune," actually becomes the country's king! This was the first of only two novels by this author, primarily a newspaperman who was for some years the chief European correspondent for the N.Y. Herald Tribune; his second novel was "The Immortals," and he wrote one additional book, "England Muddles Through," published in 1932, before meeting an untimely end at the age of 38 in 1935, when he fell overboard from an ocean liner off Southampton, England. (There is an artist's signature on the front jacket illustration, but I can't make it out.).…

("Pussyfoot" in this instance being a British slang term for teetotaler or prohibitionist.) The second of only two novels by this author, primarily a newspaperman who was for some years the chief European correspondent for the N.Y.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. First edition. First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket, priced 7/6. A Russian scientist invents a serum conferring immortality on selected recipients, and a young couple are left to decide whether it should be used; the protagonist's advocacy of the drug is brought to an end when the Wandering Jew appears and describes the cost of being unable to die. Harold E. Scarborough (18971935) was an American journalist and author resident in Britain from 1920, and this is the title for which he is remembered in science fiction. The book belongs to a distinct and long-running line of argument within the genre - that immortality would produce social sterility - running from Walter Besant's The Inner House (1888) through Martin Swayne's The Blue Germ (1918) and forward to Huxley's After Many a Summer (1939), and the Wandering Jew device places it equally in the Gothic tradition of Godwin's St Leon, Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer and Mary Shelley's The Mortal Immortal. Noticed by Bleiler in Science-Fiction: The Early Years and Locke's A Spectrum of Fantasy. Published simultaneously in New York by D. Appleton. Cloth very slightly rubbed and bumped at extremities; jacket with loss to head of spine/lower panel, a few other chips with minor loss. Book.…
