Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 190 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Hutchinson University Library, Biological Sciences. 'Long before Charles Darwin undertook his first voyage, animal taxonomists had begun the scientific classification of animals, plants, and minerals. In the mid-1950s, taxonomist A. J. Cain summarized the state of knowledge about the structure of the living world in his major book Animal Species and Their Evolution. His work remains remarkably current today. Here Cain explains each of the terms by which scientists now classify all animalsfrom species through genus, family, order, class, and phylum. The work of the modern taxonomist is dependent on the work of paleontologists, field biologists, ecologists, and other specialists who help piece together the puzzle of nature. This seminal text will interest students in each of these areas. It will also appeal to historians of science and to all amateur scientists with an interest in the animal kingdom' (Web site of Princeton University Press, which reissued the book in 1993 and most recently reprinted it in 2016 in its Princeton Legacy Library).…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition. Original wrappers, 4to. Near Fine. ('Communicated by E. B. Ford, F.R.S. Received 25 January 1962') (p. 1). 'With John Currey he made elegant use of sub-fossil material to follow changes in time as well as space. Later he turned to the study of variation in shell shape' (Wikipedia). The Wikipedia article cites Cook, L. M., 'Arthur Cain and ecological genetics in the Oxford Zoology Department' (Archives of Natural History, 51 (1): 7385, 2024): 'In the two decades after the Second World War a group of members of the University of Oxford's Zoology Department investigated evidence for and the strength of natural selection in wild populations, a subject that had been developing since the beginning of the century. They provided a stimulus for many further field studies by others and in other places. Their central contention was that strong selection led to the close adaptation of all aspects of the genome of organisms to their environment. The research centred on the work of E. B. Ford and H. B. D. Kettlewell, on the one hand, and A. J. Cain, on the other. Ford was influenced by R. A. Fisher's theory of the evolution of dominance, which he maintained led to heterozygote advantage, polymorphism and thus high levels of genetic diversity. While convinced of the power of selection and studying a conspicuous polymorphism, Cain had a much broader interest in adaptation and speciation' (Abstract).…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [a good sound copy, albeit with some soiling and general grubbiness to the covers, and some light foxing to the edges of the text block; it may be possible to have the orange cloth professionally cleaned to improve its appearance, but we have not attempted to do so, and are selling it as-is]. Cain's second book and first novel, a breakthrough for him and a perennial hard-boiled classic, filmed several times to varying degrees of effectiveness. This is a stated "First Edition" of the original Knopf printing, but NOTE again that it bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing.
