Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+. Second Revised Edition. Very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. Scholars' bookplate to inner cover (Slater & Dunbabin).; Loeb Classical Library No. 225; 432 pages; This volume collects some of the liveliest examples of Greek literary portraiture. The Characters of Theophrastus sketches thirty hypothetical men, each dominated by a single fault, such as rudeness, superstitution, or greed. Unassuming in style, the sketches nonetheless bear resemblance on the one hand to Aristotle's account of faults and virtues and on the other to the vivid figures of Menandrian New Comedy. This new text and translation by Jeffrey Rusten is based on the most recent scholarship. Herodas flourished in the 270s and 260s--the high point of Hellenistic poetry. His poems are choliambic mimes, dramatic dialogues that depict characters in everyday urban settings and situations. I. C. Cunningham presents a new translation of Herodas, based on his Teubner text. Also included here, in a reprint of the earlier Loeb edition by A. D. Knox, are the fragments of Greek poetry in the choliambic meter--especially those which offer a tantalizing glimpse into the raucous and sordid world of Hipponax--and the lyric iambics on themes of Cynic philosophy by Cercidas.…

Hard covers, dust jacket. Condizione: V.g. V.g. 1st English edition. Armen Takhtajan was the director of the Dept. of Higher Plants at the Komarov Botanical Institute, St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) and a distinguished palaeobotanist and plant systematist. This first English translation of the second edition of his popular "Poriskhozhdenie pokrytosemennykh rastenii" (The Origin of Angiospermous Plants), its dust jacket is "very sixties" in design. The translatoris a former researcher at Kew Gardens specialising in the Asteraceae. The core of the book is a hypothetical reconstruction of the first flowering plants, with supporting chapters on the Cretaceous Expansion and Insects and the Flowering Plants. The book also has a discussion of phytochoria (plant areas) and their development over geological time. Fig. 31 shows a dendrogram with the author's ideas of the "probable relationships of the order of flowering plants", which despite being superseded by recent discoveries based on DNA evidence has stood the test of time remarkably well. The book concludes with an appendix giving "an outline of the classification of flowering plants" (to family level), which has subsequently been further revised. D.j. slightly rubbed; top edge dusty.
