Magazine. Zustand: Near Fine. 32pp. Newsprint [43cm x 28cm / 17" x 11"]. Eight bifolia (sheets folded vertically once to form thirty-two pages).

"No Compromise in Defense of Mother Earth!" - Earth First! Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980, founded by Dave Foreman, Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Bart Koehler, and Ron Kezar, among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt, which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group, and the monkey wrench is their ever-present emblem and tool. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new, bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice" (Dave Foreman, 1980s). The late-1980s and early-1990s were a tumultuous time for Earth First! Law enforcement cracked down on its members, and various internal issues and factions began to form within the group. Earth First! embraced non-hierarchical structures and organic methods of organization and growth, while continuing to focus on direct action in defense of wilderness as its primary focus. Through the 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's, the journal continued to be published in various forms under the direction of a diverse and rotating collective of voices from within the broad Earth First! movement. Regular print publication of the Earth First! Journal under this title seems to have ceased sometime in the early 2020s, though the movement still survives and maintains a presence online and on social media. Front cover (half-page, folded) illustration by Hungry Knife shows colorful animal cartoon characters preparing for the "EF! Roadshow" and corresponds with the feature article (on page 13) "Gearing Up for the EF! Roadshow." Rear cover photograph by Miranda Gibson is captioned "The banner hang above the Triabunna mill that turns old-growth forests into woodchips." Cover articles: "Defending an Old-Growth Swamp and Fighting Infrastructure in South Florida" by Everglades Earth First! and "Civilian Uprising Against Barrick God in Tanzania" by Sakura Saunders.

Quer-32mo. 1 p. With envelope and a blank page of his gold embossed stationery. Autograph note and scientific sketch signed "James D. Watson" on his printed Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory calling card. Watson has added, in blue ink, a small hand-drawn schematic representation of the DNA double helix, accompanied by the base pair notations "AT" and "GC," referring to the fundamental principle of complementary base pairing (adeninethymine, guaninecytosine).The drawing is not a full chemical structural formula but a symbolic, conceptually accurate visualization of the DNA molecule, directly referencing Watson's seminal discovery with Francis Crick in 1953. Such scientifically meaningful sketches by Watson are scarce and highly desirable, as they represent a personal and intellectual signature closely tied to one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of modern biology.A particularly attractive and emblematic scientific autograph, combining signature, institutional context (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and an autograph drawing of enduring historical significance. …

8vo. XXVII, (1), 275, (1) pp. Signed by the author on title-page. With text facsimiles and photographs. Original brown cloth in dust jacket. Signed by Nobel laureate James D. Watson as "Jim Watson" on the title-page. - The single most important advance in biology since Darwin's theory, the discovery of the structure of DNA was the product of the research of James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins. For this monumental work, Crick, Watson, and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology. Franklin, whose contributions were often downplayed, had passed away four year earlier at the age of 37, likely due to X-ray exposure from her work. - The story of the discovery and its aftermath, told here, is an unlikely and interesting glimpse into the process of scientific advancement wherein "victory fell to an unlikely quartet of scientists in England who didn't work as a team, often weren't on speaking terms, and were for the most part novices in the field" (Bryson, p. 487). Told from the perspective of the American wunderkind James Watson, this memoir traces one of the greatest scientific upheavals of the eventful 20th century. - In excellent condition. - Cf.

First edition of "the first modern textbook of biology." Quarto, original cloth, illustrated. From the library of James D. Watson with his ownership signature to the front free endpaper. James D. Watson was a molecular biologist, geneticist, and biophysicist, best known for co-discovering the structure of DNA in 1953 alongside Francis Crick and Rosalind Franklin. Their groundbreaking work on the double helix model of DNA laid the foundation for modern genetics and revolutionized the biological sciences. Watsonâs contribution to science, particularly in the field of molecular biology, earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962, shared with Crick and Maurice Wilkins. Beyond his scientific achievements, Watson also played a key role in advancing genetic research through his leadership at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. His work and subsequent publications, including The Double Helix (1968), which provides a personal account of the discovery, have sparked significant ethical debates in the scientific community, particularly regarding his controversial views on genetics and intelligence. In very good condition. The Science of Life is a book written by H. G. Wells, Julian Huxley and G. P. Wells, gives a popular account of all major aspects of biology as known in the 1920s. It has been called "the first modern textbook of biology" and "the best popular introduction to the biological sciences". Wells's most recent biographer notes that The Science of Life "is not quite as dated as one might suppose". In undertaking The Science of Life, H. G. Wells, who had published The Outline of History a decade earlier, selling over two million copies, desired the same sort of treatment for biology. He thought of his readership as "the intelligent lower middle classes . [not] idiots, half-wits . greenhorns, religious fanatics . smart women or men who know all that there is to be known". Julian Huxley, the grandson of T. H. Huxley under whom Wells had studied biology, and his son "Gip", a zoologist, divided the initial writing between them; H. G. Wells revised, dealt (with the help of his literary agent, A. P. Watt) with publishers, and acted as a strict taskmaster, often obliging his collaborators to sit down and work together and keeping them on a tight schedule. (H. G. Wells had begun the book during his wife's final illness and is said to have used work on the book as a way to keep his mind off his loss.) The text as published is presented as the common work of a "triplex author". H. G. Wells took 40% of the royalties; the remainder was split between Huxley and Wells's son. In his will, H. G. Wells left his rights in the book to G. P. Wells.…

110 : 154 mm. Reproduced photograph of the biologist.

First edition of this riveting work on the legendary scientist James D. Watson. Octavo, original boards. Boldly signed by James Watson and Francis Crick on the half-title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Ron Monteleone. Rare and desirable signed by Watson and Crick. In its drama, Watson's life has rivaled the discovery of the structure of DNA. So intent on his research was this awkward, bumbling scholar that he would climb a drainpipe to sneak into a lab at night. Watson had a knack for selecting problems that would yield important scientific results, but did he pilfer? Did Rosalind Franklin originate crucial material? If so, why was she not included in the Nobel Prize? Baldwin, who had exceptional access to Watson and his family, conveys the elegance of science (the ``structure [of DNA] was too pretty not to be true''), describes diverse influences (birding, Arrowsmith, movies), and even gives advice (go to a college where others are brighter than you, to test your mettle). Voluminous detail on what, exactly, provided a lifetime's worth of inspiration broaden an intriguing picture of this intrepid competitor. …
