DJ: Light cover wear; mild fading to spine. Very Good. A significant scientific compilation focusing on the preservation and management of fragmented native ecosystems. Addresses the critical role that small remnants of original vegetation play in maintaining genetic diversity and providing habitat for plant and animal species restricted by land clearing. Divided into four primary themes, the work covers ecological studies as a basis of management, population genetics, monitoring dynamics of remnants, and practical management strategies. It represents a collaborative effort between researchers, planners, and land managers to integrate conservation research into efficient land use practices.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo; pp. 176. MARGARET BURBIDGE'S COPY OF THIS SCARCE AND IMPORTANT WORK ON PURE GEOMETRY. This volume was probably acquired by Burbidge after her return to England. She had trained and then taught at ucl, and then from 1951 spent two years at the Yerkes Observatory, Wisconsin, before returning to the University of Cambridge to conduct research with her husband Geoffrey Burbidge, William Fowler and Fred Hoyle. This resulted in the monumental B2FH paper of 1957, which for the first time described the physics of stellar nucleosynthesis , i.e. the origin of all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. From 1959 her researched turned towards the geometry of distant galaxies over a period of many years Burbidge and her collaborators analyzed the rotation curves of many galaxies, developing key insights and techniques, and adding crucial evidence to the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe. This work therefore helped shape the work of one of the greats of 20th-century astrophysics. Very good condition. Inscribed by Author(s).…
