Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is RARE, hard to find and OUT OF PRINT and a fascinating biography of British scientist JBS HALDANE written by RONALD W. CLARK--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST AMERICAN EDITION and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $6.95 price in the upper corner of the front inner flap. This book is in SUPERB condition and the book itself has a tiny owner's name on the upper edge of the blank, beige-tinted first page and NO other significant imperfections; the dustjacket has a slight crease, light ding and very small tear on the upper right tip of the front cover, very light dings and a couple of light creases on the spine tips and just slight shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant imperfections! The book is titled JBS: The Life and Work of JBS Haldane and it was written by RONALD W. CLARK; it was published by Coward-McCann, Inc. in 1969 and is a STATED 1st AMERICAN EDITION copy.Here is that rare thing, a book that at once affords dramatic insight into the very human struggles and conflicts of underlying scientific discovery and into a type of man that has, by and large, passed from the scene: the diversified, difficult, eccentric genius--the great individualist. Like his contemporaries Bertrand Russell, Albert Schweitzer and George Bernard Shaw, J. B. S. Haldane possessed an extraordinaily complex intelligence. Brilliant biochemist and geneticist, he was also a revolutionary, fervently dedicated to the vital intellecutal and political causes of the twentieth century.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
