Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover with dustjacket, beautiful collector's copy of the 56th volume in the publisher's "New Naturalist" series, first printing as indicated by "First published 1973" stated on copyright page, book and jacket are clean and crisp as new, the original price is present and a professional (removable) mylar cover is included, please do note that there is a minor flaw on the underside of the jacket: the former owner placed the jacket in a protective mylar cover and when it was removed a 3/4-inch strip of very slight tanning remained on the top and bottom edge, there is slight evidence of this on the "up" side of the jacket at the bottom of the rear panel, it's quite inconsequential in our opinion, "This highly individual volume in the New Naturalist series is about neither plants, animals, nor other creatures, but about their names, and about words which have their origin in nature".

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.
