Add to basketI am pleased to offer a rather scarce work about the theories around evolution from the turn of the century (1905). The book is titled: Evolution, Racial and Habitudinal by the Rev. John T. Gulick. Wikipedia has a small reference to the Author which I excerpt here below (with my thanks): John Thomas Gulick (March 13, 1832 April 14, 1923) was an American missionary and naturalist from Hawaii. He was one of the pioneers of modern evolutionary thinking based on his studies of Hawaiian snails of the genus Achatinella. He was among the first to describe the formation of species through geographic separation of breeding populations. He developed early ideas on the founder effect and what is now known as the Baldwin effect. He coined the term divergent evolution . This medium-sized hardcover book (7 ? x 10 inches, 269 pages) was published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C. dated August, 1905 as their Publication No. 25. The book is bound in dark brown pebbled cloth with black cloth quarter spine and corners and a paper title panel paste-down on the spine. It is ex-library having been duly deaccessioned and is so marked. Please see the photos of the Table of Contents for your further information. The book includes a number (4) of colored plates featuring images of the land snails of Hawaii on which his theories are based. Condition: This book is in very good condition. As a former library book it bears the usual markings including a shelf number and a paste-down hand-made spine label. There are also several other instances of library markings but nothing too significant. The front endpaper is fragile and loose but laid-in and has some chips and tears. These library markings are the only ones I found, and the interior pages are generally clean and bright and devoid of toning or foxing. Both hinges are cracked but the binding still feels reasonably tight.
