Paperback. Condition: Very good. Paperback. 8 1/2" X 5 1/2". 1116pp. Very mild shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of paper wraps. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In this classic of biology and modern science, Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson (1860-1948), one of the most distinguished scientists of the modern era, sets forth his seminal "theory of transformation" - that one species evolves into another not by successive minor changes in individual body parts but by large-scale transformations involving the body as a whole. First written in 1917, the book was revised by Thompson in 1942 â " the revision reprinted here. The esteem in which this monumental, lavishly illustrated work is universally held derives not only from its scholarship and creativity, but also from the rich literary style that exemplifies Thompson's great erudition in the physical and natural sciences, ancient and modern languages and the humanities. The book begins with studies of organic magnitude, the rate of growth, cellular form and structure, adsorption, and the forms of tissues, then examines a vast spectrum of life forms, and concludes with a comparison of related forms that leads to the theory of transformations.(Publisher).

Cloth. Condition: Fair. New Edition. [A New Edition, 1942]. Illustrated with several hundred graphs and small text figures, thick octavo, pp (ii), 1116, slightly used internally, the last 150 pages have a faint fold mark but not serious, a duplicate from East Malling Research Station with a stamp on the front endpaper and a shelf number on the spine, red cloth a little rubbed and the spine head a little torn; more serious is the fact that the half-title, the frontispiece and the title page have presumably come loose at some time and have been re-inserted using sellotape which is now browned (see illustration). The first edition of 1917 is rare, and this much extended revision not much less so. Later printings are nearly always of the abridged edition. VERY SCARCE. [The first edition has often been seen as the founding statement of an agenda for an analysis of biological phenomena in mathematical terms. Despite obscurities and stylistic idiosyncrasies, it is still referred to in the present age because of its powerful arguments for the importance of physical forces in explaining the morphologies of organisms. The modern reader is likely to find Thompson's style a dominant feature of the writing, particularly in the aspects of his classical background that shows up in his use of allusions and quotations from a vast international range of historical sources. This can appear mannered and more literary than scientific. Nonetheless, the clarity of his meaning is rarely in doubt; the prose is often eloquent and forceful. Thompson's specific intentions have not been fulfilled and his project could be said largely to have failed. The limitations of his approach in detail have become ever more obvious; biology cannot be reduced to mathematics, and now has to look to molecular biology for its foundations. The book covers many topics including the effects of scale on the shape of animals and plants, large ones necessarily being relatively thick in shape; the effects of surface tension in shaping soap films and similar structures such as cells; the logarithmic spiral as seen in mollusc shells and ruminant horns; the arrangement of leaves and other plant parts (phyllotaxis); and Thompson's own method of transformations, showing the changes in shape of animal skulls and other structures on a Cartesian grid. The work is widely admired by biologists, anthropologists and architects among others, but less often read than cited. Peter Medawar explains this as being because it clearly pioneered the use of mathematics in biology, and helped to defeat mystical ideas of vitalism; but that the book is weakened by Thompson's failure to understand the role of evolution and evolutionary history in shaping living structures. Philip Ball and Michael Ruse, on the other hand, suspect that while Thompson argued for physical mechanisms, his rejection of natural selection bordered on vitalism. ].

Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: good. The second edition of On Growth and Form by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, in the publisher's scarce dust jackets. (illustrator). Second Edition, Reissued. Octavo, [two volumes], [6], 464pp; [2], [465]-1116pp. Maroon cloth, title stamped in gilt on spine. Both fine examples, no internal marks or notations. Includes frontispiece in Volume I and hundreds of illustrations throughout. This work is the two-volume reissue of the second edition, which was first published in 1942. In the publisher's "Second Edition" dust jackets, notable reinforcement to verso, large chips from both volumes, closed tears. Scarce dust jackets in any form. "On Growth and Form," written by the Scottish biologist D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson and first published in 1917, is a seminal work in the field of biology, emphasizing the role of physical and mathematical principles in shaping the forms of living organisms. Thompson's work challenges the exclusively evolutionary explanations of the forms and structures of living beings by demonstrating how physical laws and patterns, such as the Fibonacci sequence or the principle of minimum energy, play a crucial role in biological growth and the development of form. Through extensive examples ranging from the shapes of jellyfish to the arrangement of plant leaves and the structure of animal skeletons, Thompson illustrated how mathematical patterns and physical forces influence biological processes. "On Growth and Form" is celebrated for bridging the gap between the sciences and the arts, inspiring fields beyond biology, including architecture, art, and engineering, by suggesting that the natural world can be understood through the laws of physics and mathematics.
