Book First Edition
First edition, 1973. Hardback. [154], 18 - 322pp. Dust jacket in publisher's Duraseal protected sleeve. This highly individual work in the New Naturalist series is about neither plants, animals nor other creatures. It is about their names and about words which have their origin in nature. "Pedigree" traces the origins of speech itself and the evolution of language, particularly English which, based on several dozen different languages, has by far the richest of vocabularies. Much of our daily vocabulary incorporates words from nature, both obvious - porcupine and not so obvious - London cab; from the names and characteristics of animals familiar and legendary; from primitive agriculture, astrology and astronomy, from seafaring and hunting. There are measurements derived from anatomy, diseases from astrology and remedies from plants. Pedigree itself is from pied de grue - a crane's foot, of which the three wide spread toes suggest a genealogical tree; while the crane's pointed bill is seen in seed pods of Geranium species such as the Meadow Cranesbill. Jacket designed by Clifford and Rosemary Ellis. Book in very good condition. A little light soiling/spotting to upper and fore-edges of text block. Just a hint of spotting to endpapers. Dust jacket very good and unclipped. Slight fade and discolouration to spine. Rear very lightly soiled. Bernhard & Loe (Collecting the New Naturalists) point out the incorrect page numbering in the first edition. The first fifteen pages are unnumbered with pagination starting at p16 which is incorrectly numbered p18 and so on throughout the book til the last page which is numbered 322 but is, in fact, p320.
