Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The world of magic has disappeared. The dragons, witches, wizards, fey, and unicorns are all gone, and many are left wondering what happened to them. Are they really gone, or are they just in hiding Loot is a young orphan boy who lives among the Viking clan. He has no knowledge of his past, and his future is just as unknown. He has only just returned to the village of his childhood after a year spent wandering the Smoking Mountains. He survives a dangerous encounter with the Clan of Dragons, enemies of his adopted people. Even so, Loot's return does not bring celebration, and some people even feel he should be punished. They have no idea that Loot is the key to the world's salvation.The boy has the power to save the human race and perhaps even to return the ancient dragons to places of power. As his mysterious past begins to reveal itself, it soon becomes clear that he is much more than a weak orphan boy. Before he can become a hero, though, he must first come to terms with his hidden historyand prepare for battle.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In just over two thousand years, Loot has transformed from an orphan Viking to the most powerful caster and greatest superhero on Earth. One day after a ship lands on Loot and Safrin's beloved island, they destroy their home and head to the safety of a cave deep within the Smoking Mountains. But unfortunately within his chaotic world, safety is always short-lived.When Loot learns a fleet of ships is approaching and that the king of the Vikings in Norrland wants to find new lands for his sons to rule, he realizes war appears imminent and decides to help the Giants of the north. Two hundred years after he demonstrates his abilities and trains others like Dento in his quest to assist the Vikings in their win, Loot is sent on a dangerous journey to hunt for the vampire lair where he meets Merlin the great, Jack the Ripper, and Dracula with all of his children. But can he save the king of his new friends, before it is too late In this continuing fantasy tale, a superhero must rely on help from a band of magical characters as he embarks on a new quest to help the Vikings and battle vampires.…

London, Macmillan, 1961. 4to (27.0 x 20.5 cm). 6 pp. [1227-1232]; six text figures, three tables. [whole volume: 1322 pp. and oddly numbered wrappers]. Contempory light tan cloth, with title printed in black on the spine. = The first edition of the discovery of the genetic functions of DNA was in Nature vol. 171 (1953), but it took several more years to clarify and understand how, exactly, how the code was read. In this work it was postulated that a group of three bases codes one amino-acid and that the code is of a non-overlapping type. The fundamental issues that Crick, Gamow, Watson and Brenner had embarked upon in the summer of 1954 were now resolved. We offer the complete vol. 192 of Nature (#4797-4809, 1322, cvii pp.). A year later, in December of 1962, Crick, Watson, and Maurice Wilkins went to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine. Brenner received a Nobel prize in 2002. Bookplate on front pastedown, library stamps on the title pages (bound together in front), boards slightly soiled, otherwise a very good copy. The text pages clean. Garrison-Morton, 7527.…

First Edition. Offprint, 8vo (210 x 140mm), pp. 14, with two diagrams (including the double helix) and two illustrations from photographs. The three-paper offprint issue, of the primary record of the co-discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, the most transformative moment in twentieth-century biology. Stapled in self-wrappers as issued. Signed by Maurice Wilkins on the first page. Very lightly toned and a coulpe soft creases, near fine. Grolier Club, One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine, 99; Dibner, Heralds of Science, 200. Garrison-Morton 256.3; Judson, Eighth Day of Creation, pp. 145-56. Ex-Dr. Myron Printzmetal. The discovery of DNA's double helix structure emerged from an intense period of competitive collaboration between research teams at Cambridge and King's College London. Watson and Crick's theoretical breakthrough synthesized crucial experimental evidence from multiple sources: Erwin Chargaff's base composition rules demonstrating the 1:1 ratio of adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine, X-ray crystallographic data revealing DNA's helical structure, and most critically, the precise measurements of backbone positioning and molecular dimensions. Their elegant model proposed complementary base pairing (A-T and C-G) held together by hydrogen bonds, immediately suggesting a mechanism for genetic replication where each strand could serve as a template for its complement. The accompanying papers by Wilkins, Stokes, and Wilson, and by Franklin and Gosling, provided essential experimental validation through X-ray diffraction analysis, creating a unified presentation of both theoretical insight and empirical evidence that established the foundation of molecular biology. The contentious history surrounding this discovery has generated enduring scholarly debate, particularly regarding the systematic marginalization of Rosalind Franklin's contributions. Franklin's meticulous X-ray crystallographic work, conducted with her graduate student Raymond Gosling, had independently determined many key structural features including the antiparallel orientation of DNA strands, the external positioning of phosphate groups, and precise helical parameters. Her famous "Photograph 51" provided definitive evidence of DNA's helical structure, while her systematic analysis of A-form and B-form DNA revealed critical dimensions that enabled Watson and Crick's model construction. As Brenda Maddox documents in "Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA," Franklin's data was shown to Watson and Crick without her knowledge through Maurice Wilkins, creating an ethical controversy that persists in discussions of scientific collaboration and gender bias. Franklin's death from ovarian cancer in 1958, four years before the Nobel Prize was awarded to Watson, Crick, and Wilkins, has intensified debates about recognition and the complex dynamics of mid-twentieth century scientific discovery, with many scholars arguing that her rigorous experimental approach was as fundamental to the breakthrough as the theoretical modeling that received greater acclaim. This publication represents the founding document of modern molecular biology, establishing the conceptual framework for understanding heredity, genetic replication, and the molecular basis of life itself. The discovery immediately suggested mechanisms for protein synthesis and genetic information transfer, creating the theoretical foundation for subsequent developments in genetic engineering, biotechnology, and genomic medicine. As Francis Crick later observed, the structure's elegant simplicitywith its complementary base pairing and antiparallel strandsprovided not merely a static model but a dynamic mechanism explaining how genetic information could be accurately copied and transmitted across generations. The offprint's scientific significance extends far beyond its immediate discovery, representing the moment when biology transformed from a primarily descriptive science into a molecular discipline capable of manipulating the fundamental mechanisms of life, establishing the intellectual foundation for the biotechnology revolution that continues to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of evolutionary processes seventy years after its publication.…
