Why does this applied science, which saves work and makes life easier, bring us so little happiness? The simple answer runs: Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it. Albert Einstein |

Cloudsley-Thompson,
J L: Insects and History Weidenfeld & Nicolson 1st 1976 large 8vo, v v min wr to d/w edges, sl sunning to sp o/w F/VG++ 635 gms (Order reference 7526). This is a fascinating account of the ways in which the insect world has affected the course of human history since pre-historic times. Never before has all this information been gathered within a single volume, and the aspects of history with which the book is concerned have consistently been overlooked. Professor Cloudsley- Thompson, an eminent zoologist and distinguished author, has gathered a wealth of evidence from disparate sources, both ancient and modern, revealing the extraordinary extent to which insects, in their role of transmitters of epidemic disease, have altered the destiny of mankind. Insects have destroyed armies and confounded generals. They contributed largely to the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, with all its consequences, and have influenced religions everywhere. In England, they were, more than any other single factor, responsible for the growth of the medical services. Nor has their importance as sources of food, drink and other valuable products been insignificant. Insects made an empire of China, opened up central Asia, and brought the East into contact with the West. All this, and much more, is presented in this lucid and dramatic re-interpretation of the highlights of human history. With 28 line drawings and 7 maps in the text.

Elfgren, L
& Shah, S P: Analysis of Concrete Structures
by Fracture Mechanics - proceedings of the International RILEM Workshop
Chapman & Hall 1st 1991 8vo, glazed boards VG++ 550 gms (Order reference 11468). This book presents new research findings on the fast developing applications of fracture mechanics to concrete structures. Papers from leading international experts describe existing and new modelling techniques in the analysis of concrete materials and structures. The book explains the practical application of fracture mechanics to structural modelling, bending, shear, bond and anchorage. The proceedings of this RILEM Workshop will be an important reference for those engaged in design, development and research on concrete structures. It is dedicated to Professor Arne Hillerborg, one of the pioneers in the introduction of Fracture mechanics to concrete. A review of Professor Hillerborg's contribution to the subject is included. The book forms the Proceedings of the RILEM Workshop held in Abisko, Sweden, in 1989. |

Flegg, P B;
Spencer, D M & Wood, D A (eds): The Biology
and Technology of the Cultivated Mushroom John Wiley & Sons 1st 1985 8vo, glazed pictorial boards VG++ 720 gms (Order reference 5660). Methods of producing the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, have advanced dramatically overthe past decade, and for the most part improvements in technology have been generated by fundamental advances in our understanding of the basic biology of the crop. This book, in one well-structured and comprehensive volume draws together this important research work, and represents the cumulative knowledge and experience of one of the world's leading mushroom research teams. The multi-authored approach has encouraged the comprehensive treatment of a topic within a chapter, but strong editing has equally emphasized the many overlaps and links between topics. Aspects discussed include the history, general biology, cultural systems, nutrition, biochemistry, genetics, growth, fruiting, food value and chemical composition of the mushroom. Sections of special value to growers will include compost preparation, spawn production, crop productivity, post-harvest storage and the chapters on pests and bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. The whole book is very extensively referenced. Readership: Growers, advisers, technologists and scientists in the mushroom industry, microbiologists, mycologists, botanists, horticulturalists, plant pathologists, agronomists, virologists, entomologists and biochemists. |

Geoffrey with William A S Sarjeant: The Tracks
of Triassic Vertebrates - Fossil Evidence from North-West England National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside 1st 1997 large 4to, printed decorative bds, no d/w as published F+ 1100 gms (Order reference 7689). Fossil footprints deriving from large vertebrates dating from the Triassic period were found in both Germany and England in the 1830s. Since the prints bore a marked resemblance to the human hand, they were named Chirotherium - the 'hand animal'. A puzzling feature in both countries was that the desert sandstones in which these pre-dinosaur footprints were found contained no skeletal remains of the animals that had left them. Chirotherium's identity was to remain a mystery for over a century. This lavishly illustrated book traces the history of the discovery of the tracks in north-west England, and narrates the finds of the nineteenth century, drawing from hitherto unpublished contemporary accounts and illustrations. It also describes the turnof-the-century work of ichnologist Henry Beasley, who played a leading role in the study and classification of the footprints, and whose extensive photographic archive is both fully inventoried and generously illustrated here. By weaving anecdotes of the eccentric experiments of the early gentleman geologists into the narrative, the authors skilfully bring the period of the Victorian scientist to life. The Tracks of Triassic Vertebrates provides an illuminating commentary on the study of tracks, trails and trace fossils and is indispensable reading for those interested in the history of geology. |
