Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Desmond Morris (Jacket design) Ilustrador. First Edition. A fourth printing of the first edition - reprinted with corrections in 1978. The book was first published in 1976, and reprinted with corrections the same year, with a third printing in 1977. ***A very good copy in black cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or tears to the cloth. No creasing. Corners sharp. The page block edges don't have the usual foxing. Internally the book is also very good, with the ink stamp of the Eugenics Library and ink reference number on the front free endpaper (please see scans). No other marks or annotations. Pages clean. No creases or tears. There is also no reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. ***In a very good dustwrapper, with the fabulous wraparound surrealistic illustration taken from the painting 'The Expectant Valley' by Desmond Morris. The dustwrapper is complete with no chips or tears, but has been neatly price-clipped by the publisher, with a revised printed price of £3.50 net on the front flap. There is only minimal rubbing and creasing at the extremities, mainly at the tips of the foldovers. There is some light fading to the colours on the spine, which is common with this book. There is also a light crease to the top corner of the front flap. Dustwrapper bright. ***224 pages including a Bibliography, Index and Key to bibliography at the back of the book. 222mm x 140mm. ***'Richard Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene", which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term meme. With his book "The Extended Phenotype" (1982), he introduced into evolutionary biology the influential concept that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment. In 2006, he founded the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. "The Selfish Gene" is a 1976 book on evolution by the ethologist Richard Dawkins, in which the author builds upon the principal theory of George C. Williams's "Adaptation and Natural Selection" (1966). Dawkins uses the term "selfish gene" as a way of expressing the gene-centred view of evolution (as opposed to the views focused on the organism and the group), popularising ideas developed during the 1960s by W. D. Hamilton and others. From the gene-centred view, it follows that the more two individuals are genetically related, the more sense (at the level of the genes) it makes for them to behave cooperatively with each other.' (Wiki) ***'Four thousand million years ago molecules with the power to make copies of themselves first appeared in the sea. What was the fate of these ancient replicators? They did not die out: they are masters of the survival arts. But do not look for them floating loose in the sea; they gave up that cavalier freedom long ago. Now they swarm in huge colonies, safe inside gigantic lumbering robots, manipulating the outside world by remote control. They are in all of us; they created us, body and mind; and their preservation is the sole reason for our existence. They have come a long way, those replicators. Now they go by the name of genes, and we are their survival machines.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A fourth printing of Richard Dawkins' first published book, published with corrections and reprinted with a new publisher's price. Probably the most famous work of genetic science. An unusual copy - this is the only re-priced fourth printing that we have handled, and interesting to have come from the Eugenics Library. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
