Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For centuries, green crabs have been embedded within Venetian cuisine: served soft-shell or shucked for delicious caviar known as Masinette. Travel outside the Mediterranean and the crab has a very different reputation. This small crustacean has spread to nearly every continent on the globe and been hailed as one of the most destructive invasive species of all time. Green crabs eat native shellfish species, outcompete local crabs, and destroy vital seagrass habitat when foraging for food. In turn, they threaten some of the world's most valuable fisheries and vulnerable ecosystems. After discovering the crab had decimated New England soft-shell clam populations, conservationists began focusing on removal to mitigate their invasive impact. That's when a group of scientists and activists from the US and Canada landed on a new idea: what if we ate the problem.…

First edition of this uncommon popular work by 'arguably the best scientist in colonial America' (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography). The 1758/59 appearance of Halley's comet was the first predicted by Edmund Halley, who discovered its periodicity, and it was therefore of great interest to both scientists and the general public. Author John Winthrop (1714-1779), a descendant of the founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was elected Hollis professorship of mathematics and natural philosophy at Harvard aged only twenty-three. 'He explored the fields of astronomy, mathematics, and seismology with diligence and flair, publishing eleven articles in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. His achievements in astronomy, particularly in the study of comets and the relationship between sunspots and the sun's aurora, have been especially celebrated. Winthrop was also a dedicated teacher, explaining the work of other scientists and his own to students and the public at large through lectures, demonstrations, and a host of newspaper and magazine articles' (ODNB).…

See Michael Caine's affectionate account of Fox in 'The Elephant to Hollywood' (2010), from which the anecdote at the end of this entry is taken. 1p, 4to. Addressed to 'Dear Mr. Hindin', signed 'Alwyn Fox' and headed 'Pantomime - "Dame".' While the twenty lines of text are clear and complete, the item is not in the best of condition, on aged and creased on discoloured paper with closed tears to edges. The letter begins: 'I am at present free for Dame for coming season pants. and would be glad to negotiate with you. You contacted me last season but I had just fixed, if you recall.' He explains that the previous year he 'did "Riding Hood" for Barrie Baldrick at New Cross Empire', and gives details of four similar engagements in recent years, including ' "Cinders (Emp. Middlebro') - Jimmie James'. He has a 'very complete and elaborate wardrobe for any subject, and all own props', and 'Can produce/manage if required. | Terms £25.' He is enclosing 'last years folder, and some photos' (not present). After becoming a movie star Caine lost touch with Fox, 'although years later, when I was in Beverly Hills, I got a letter from a social worker in Hammersmith, London. He said he had an old man called Alwyn D. Fox lying destitute in one of his wards. Mr Fox, he said, was claiming he had discovered Michael Caine. In all likelihood it was fantasy, but if there was any truth in it, would I mind writing Mr Fox a letter and perhaps sending a small amount of money to make his last few weeks a bit easier? I wrote at once to confirm Alwyn's story and enclosed a cheque for five thousand dollars. Two weeks later I had another letter from the social worker, returning the cheque. Alwyn had been delighted to get my letter, he wrote, and had spent the day he received it showing it to everyone on the ward. He had died later that night.'.…
