Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Ex-libary copy, nevertheless, book is in excellent condition. Errata slip laid in. , An invaluable masterpiece of marine literature. Originally published in 1953 by the U.S. Government Printing Office, the first revision updated the 1924 original to serve as a vital handbook for identifying local marine species. The book is universally celebrated by ichthyologists, commercial fishers, and marine biologists for its detailed life history summaries and field-accessible, non-technical descriptions. The book became legendary for being profusely illustrated with highly detailed, fine line engravings and black-and-white drawings of local fish species. The 1953 text aggregated data from decades of localized research cruises to meticulously index Cyclostomes (jawless fishes like lampreys), cartilaginous fishes (sharks, skates, rays), and bony fishes. Scientific Style: The text was intentionally written to be as non-technical as possible without sacrificing scientific accuracy, emphasizing clear external identifiers so that commercial fishermen and field biologists could use it directly on deck. Heavy book.…

"Great American Mystery Stories of the Twentieth Century presents an impressive array of writers. These literary sleuths - American writers who hail from all over the United States and even abroad - offer stories that reflect the varied experiences of a vast and culturally diverse country. The authors in this collection have garnered innumerable honors, from myriad awards conferred by their own mystery-writing colleagues to the Nobel Prize in Literature; they all share the writer's greatest reward, however, the broad readership and popular acclaim that can only come from creating superb, entertaining tales. Some of these mystery masters have left an indelible mark on the reading public by creating characters that have entered the national consciousness. The Saint, Lew Archer, Travis McGee, Uncle Abner - these names are real to mystery aficionados who know them well and have learned much about life from them. Other writers have given birth to characters who live only in one brief tale, making readers regret that they won't meet them again. Although the modern American mystery story has only recently gained respectability as the subject of academic study, the genre is an integral part of this country's literature. In fact, it stands at the very center of a markedly American literary offering, the short story. Edgar Allan Poe, the creator of the short story form, based the world's first mystery tale on the crime story, a style of fiction that originally appeared in the beginning of the nineteenth century. He enhanced the elements in these negligible stories with such genius that he lifted his own tales to the level of art. Poe's "The Murder in the Rue Morgue," first published in 1841, has been called by one critic "the single most important story in the history of the genre." Subsequent literary detectives may have occasionally felt daunted by following the mystery story's inimitable forefather; still, they have made their own distinctive contributions to this uniquely American literary form. Among them, the twenty-three writers in this anthology of American mystery masterpieces have written hundreds of memorable stories. Choosing the writers - not to mention the stories - from a national treasure of literary excellence was indeed difficult. The sheer number of outstanding American mystery stories offers endless hours of reading pleasure. To this day, superlative writers apply their varied skills to the genre first explored by Edgar Allan Poe. Readers new to this literary terrain will enjoy finding their way to some of mystery's hidden corners - as well as its landmarks. - The Editors" - from the Preliminary Page. Ward, John (panel art and color frontispiece) (illustrator).…
