He explains contemporary events such as the revolt of the young and the growing general disillusionment with our present way of living and also shows what we have to do to create a less frustrating, more rewarding environment to live in. This book gives precision to ideas currently much – but always in vague terms – debated: life-style, values, the quality of life . . . What actually are the possible life-styles? What kind of social structure would really improve the quality of life? What values have changed and why? How can we preserve such constant social requirements as stability, community, functional status, sense of identity, etc, which our technological society has destroyed, and find ways of combining them with the benefits of technology? Rattray Taylor also looks at the economic and political institutions which dominate and warp our present way of life, and considers how we must change them. Politicians and economists, he declares, are blind to the real problems and demands of the concerned but often powerless citizen ; 'they' spend their time tackling day-to-day problems but fail to see that the game has changed. Preoccupied with material wealth and the momentum of the growth society, they simply do not ask themselves what human happiness and social stability really are and how we can all work towards them; 9½x6½". $6.00 id=fut034 Go

Even today it is suitable for honours degree zoology students and students of meat technology, as well as a valuable reference source for research workers. The book begins with the general structure of muscle and examines the biochemical and biophysical properties of the proteins myosin, actin, tropomyosin and troponin, from which the contractile apparatus is built up. It then passes on to their reactions in the organized filaments, myofibrils and fibres. Natural relaxation is described in terms of the calcium pump contained in the system of sarcoplasmic vesticles which enwrap each fibril; 8x5¼". $9.00 id=sci046 Go

Dutton; with laminated card cover in near-mint condition, contents in mint condition; xx+289+42pp notes, biblio; in his lifetime, Jerome Cardan (1501- 1576) rose from humble birth to a position of international fame and affluence, as one of the greatest Renaissance mathematicians and a successful, respected physician. But he was also a bit of a madman and the book of his life is a vivid portrait of a paranoid, morbid, superstitious man, consumed with self-love and hungry for fame. What results is a surprisingly insightful self-study of a man's reactions and sensations, the first psychological autobiography and still one of the best in world literature. We see the man as only he could see himself. And, through him, we see the beliefs, biases and enthusiasms of his age and the problems that concerned a trained mind in the sixteenth century. Intensely written, this is an unusual and absorbing book, well deserving rediscovery by modern readers; 8½x5½". $13.50 id=sci071 Go

First comes a series of chapters presenting the birds of the world – illuminating their variety, their structure and adaptation, their fossil past, their evolutionary present, their distribution, and their behaviour. Then comes a detailed and stimulating section on bird watching, its purpose, delights, disciplines and techniques. Thirdly comes a remarkable and unique classification and family distribution presentation, with strikingly original family and subfamily maps. Lastly, a stimulating and timely essay on birds and men, with a healthy analysis of all the problems that beset their peaceful and continued co-existence. Even the index is a valuable document; for it gives the most up-to-date scientific name and family of every bird mentioned in the text. 9517 full species of the birds are known, living, extinct and fossil – 8580 living. The Fisher-Peterson sample embraces representatives of all the 200 known families, past and present. The text mentions 1173 species, and 743 are illustrated, 668 of them in colour. More than 200 maps are a distinctive feature which shows the past and present distribution of every bird family and the larger subfamilies, together with a modern classification of birds with a complete census of the known forms of each group. The beautiful Peterson paintings in the first 96 pages are reproduced in eight-colour litho, as is the jacket. Quite apart from its contents, this is a remarkable example of book printing and production. 13½x10¼". $50.00. id=sci076 Go

Palaeontologists tend to fix the time when man and ape diverged from a common ancestor at 20 million years ago, but recent breakthroughs in the study of genetics reveal that they became separate species only about 4 million years ago. The genetic difference between man and his closest relatives, the gorilla and the chimpanzee, is only one per cent. For the first time ever the route from monkey to man can be mapped with unambiguous precision, using what biologists call the Molecular Clock. What they have discovered not only contradicts the traditional fossil-hunter's view of evolution but also, the authors claim, represents the single most significant discovery about the mystery of human origins since Darwin's day; 8¾x5¾". $12.00 id=sci064 Go

Here, in plain language and graceful logic, is the story of human origins and evolution. Examining 'man in the petrified zoo', Dr Kurtén discusses the paleontological evidence that the ancestry of man has been separate from that of apes and monkeys for more than 35 million years (i.e. twice as long as the longest time estimated by other scientists) and that man did not descend from the apes (it would be more accurate to say the apes descended from man's early ancestors). Briefly, he surveys mankind's evolution through the past million years and speculates on the nature of evolution to come, stressing the continuing importance of natural selection and the possible advent of 'controlled evolution'; 8¾x5¾". $18.00 id=sci061 Go

Strange as it may seem, it was this very quest for the impossible that led scientists to understand why perpetual motion could not be attained. The basic tenets of engineering grew from the failures of perpetual motion. The deceptively simple task of making a mechanism which would turn for ever fascinated many an inventor and, perhaps surprisingly to us today, a number of famous men and physicists applied themselves to the task. 8¾x5¾". $18.00. id=sci055 Go

It begins in the beautiful city of Florence, where Donatello, Fra Angelico, Michelangelo and Botticelli all worked for the Medici; it ends in that same city, now sombre and decaying, where Gian Gastone's old sister, the last of the family, received her few visitors standing under a black canopy in a comfortless room in the huge Pitti Palace surrounded by the dusty treasures collected by generations of her ancestors; 8 ¾x5 ½". $9.00 id=hsg903 Go

And the annual pilgrimage to the town of Santiago de Compostela, where in the great cathedral the bones of the Saint are enshrined, has been going on at least for 1000 years. Mullins leads us over the Pyrenees by the famous pass of Roncesvalles, across the arid uplands of northern Spain, into the cool greenness of Galicia and at last to Santiago de Compostela itself, with its soaring cathedral and its houses decorated with scallop shells (Coquilles St. Jacques) reminders of the medieval days when such decoration denoted free lodging for the pilgrim. It is a journey that is as rewarding as it is exciting; 8 ¾x5 ½". $18.00 id=hsg905 Go

Rich in comic incident – a detached wooden leg scattering dancers at a ball, duelling with champagne bottles, drunkenly dancing with the young Princess Elizabeth at Windsor Castle – Gale's early years seemed untroubled by darker shadows. But later, as a foreign correspondent in Algeria, Egypt and the Far East, he witnessed scenes of such horror that his comfortable world, and ultimately his sanity itself, were shaken to their very foundations. Witty, ironic and deeply moving, John Gale's memoir is a unique record of a most singular clean young Englishman; 8x5""." $8.00 id=aua140 Go

Joyce Grenfell writes entertainingly of her life which led her almost by accident into her triumphantly successful career as entertainer, from her arduous round of wartime entertainments in hospital wards and isolated units in North Africa, Italy and remotest parts of Iran and India. Conditions were hard and the pianos often unspeakable, but it was very worthwhile and is perhaps the most moving and interesting part of the book. With peace came more revue work with Noel Coward (a mixed blessing) and others, and co-operation with Stephen Potter in writing and performing in the classic 'How' programmes. And so eventually to her first show of her own, which has provided the title of this entertaining, humane and often moving book; 9 ½x6 ¼". $22.00 id=aua910 Go
