Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Second Edition, Revised, and Enlarged. Second Edition, Revised, and Enlarged. Hardcover. Previously owned by Oliver Sacks. This is the first book devoted to the aquarium, and the marine biologist author's most popular work, published near the beginning of the craze where persons would collect specimens from the seashore and add them to their home aquariums, in the days before pet stores. It was Gosse who coined the name 'aquarium' after considering previous names such as vivarium and aqua-vivarium. Freeman 60: 'Gosse's second study of the sea-shore is full of infectious enthusiasm. It is as much about observations of marine animals in the wild, particularly those at the bottom of the tide and below, as it is about the servicing of a marine aquarium and was an important influence behind the mid-Victorian craze for keeping aquariums.' Barber (Heyday of Natural History) 117: 'The first and best was app.ropriately provided by Gosse in The Aquarium of 1854. . . it was the most successful of Gosse's books'. This second edition has the original colored plates and also additional plates and text that were not in the first edition of 1854. Some of the text has been re-written, other parts brought up-to-date and augmented. From the library of Dr. Oliver Sacks, the renowned neurologist, author, and educator. He was, in his life, celebrated for his contributions to the understanding of the human brain and his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to a broader audience. In doing so, he highlighted the profound impact of neurological disorders on human identity and experience. His library is a reflection of this remarkable polymath's questing mind.
