Paperback. Condition: Fine. Giant Molecules (1970) by René Dubos, Henry Margenau & C.P. Snow ? Time Life International Sold by Crappy Old Books ? proudly unread since Nixon was in office. Published as part of the Time Life Science Library series, Giant Molecules is a gloriously ambitious crash course in polymers, proteins, plastics, and the building blocks of modern life, brought to you by an unlikely scientific supergroup. René Dubos brings the biology, Henry Margenau handles the physics, and C.P. Snow shows up with literary flair and Cold War gravitas. Together, they take you on a glossy, mid-century tour of the molecules that quietly run the world. Our copy is vintage in the truest sense: possibly warped, definitely scuffed, and still emitting faint whiffs of 1970s optimism and cigarette smoke. Lavishly illustrated, enthusiastically outdated, and irresistibly nerdy. Crappy Old Books ? Because modern science books just don?t have the same yellowed pages. Neat near new condition.
Paperback. Condition: Good. Ships (1969) by René Dubos, Henry Margenau & C.P. Snow ? Time Life International Proudly listed by Crappy Old Books ? we sell books with barnacle damage. A curious cultural artifact from the golden age of coffee-table publishing, Ships (1969) sails through science, history, and poetic reflection with the unlikely crew of René Dubos (biologist), Henry Margenau (physicist), and C.P. Snow (novelist and scientist). Part of Time Life?s ?Man and His World? series, it?s an earnest attempt to link maritime history with the human condition?think big ships, big ideas, and bigger 1960s optimism. Expect lush photographs, grand pronouncements, and pages that may or may not have weathered a light squall in someone?s garage. Crappy Old Books ? For when your bookshelf needs ballast. Includes all sorts of exciting stuff about hull design and testing in water tanks, sonar, and the development of sail etc. .
Paperback. Condition: Good. Flight (1970) by René Dubos, Henry Margenau & C.P. Snow ? Time Life International From Crappy Old Books ? where gravity is optional but creases are guaranteed. Part science, part philosophy, part wide-eyed wonder, Flight is Time Life?s ambitious 1970 ode to humanity?s obsession with the skies. With contributions from biologist René Dubos, physicist Henry Margenau, and novelist-scientist hybrid C.P. Snow, this isn?t just about planes and rockets?it?s about the soul of flight, from Icarus to Apollo. Expect poetic reflections, scientific digressions, and photos that scream Cold War optimism. Our copy? Slightly warped by time and probably last opened around the Moon landing?but still fully capable of intellectual lift-off. Crappy Old Books ? We sell used books with baggage. Neat and near new condition.
