paperback. Condition: Fair.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. The story of the unorthodox and inspiring life and career of a pioneering biologist Scientist Rosemary Grant?s journey in life has involved detours and sidesteps?not the shortest or the straightest of paths, but one that has led her to the top of evolutionary biology. In this engaging and moving book, Grant tells the story of her life and career?from her childhood love of nature in England?s Lake District to an undergraduate education at the University of Edinburgh through a swerve to Canada and teaching, followed by marriage, children, a PhD at age forty-nine, and her life?s work with Darwin?s finches in the Galápagos islands. Grant?s unorthodox career is one woman?s solution to the problem of combining professional life as a field biologist with raising a family.Grant describes her youthful interest in fossils, which inspired her to imagine another world, distant yet connected in time?and which anticipated her later work in evolutionary biology. She and her husband, Peter Grant, visited the Galápagos archipelago annually for forty years, tracking the fates of the finches on the small, uninhabited island of Daphne Major. Their work has profoundly altered our understanding of how a group of eighteen species has diversified from a single ancestral species, demonstrating that evolution by natural selection can be observed and interpreted in an entirely natural environment. Grant?s story shows the rewards of following a winding path and the joy of working closely with a partner, sharing ideas, disappointments, and successes. …

Paperback. Condition: Fair. }Among the autobiographies of generals and statesmen, the Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant ranks with the greatest. Mark Twain called it the best of any generals since Caesar. And few historians would disagree. Unquestionably, it is the finest literary achievement by any American president, the frankest, least pretentious, most nearly tragic account we have of the failings and triumphs of leadership.Written as Grant was dying of cancer, it tells the straightforward story of his boyhood in Ohio, graduation from West Point, and the grimy military campaigns in the West and Mexico that ended with his resignation in disgrace and a return to Galena where he ran the family store. Then began the rebellion that broke the Union and recast Grants fortune: the capture of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Appomattox, Five Forks, Sailors Creek, Vicksburg and Lookout Mountain, the bloody Wilderness campaign, Shermans March to the Sea, Grant the tactician, the victim of his friends, the alcoholic, the plain and tough professional soldier, the ideal commanderall of these images are brightened in the work of Grant the writer as he assesses himself and the events that forged his character. }.…
