Magazine / Periodical First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First separate edition, wrappers (original?). Near Fine. 'An early adopter of genetic techniques to study problems in systematics, biogeography, evolution and conservation, Woodruff collaborated with his colleague and close friend Stephen Jay Gould on a series of papers using genetic tools to study the evolution of the enormous variation of shell morphologies in Cerion, a group of Caribbean land snails. The study was tragically interrupted by Gould s death in 2002' ('In Memoriam: David S. Woodruff, Professor of Biology, Emeritus, UC San Diego, 1943-2015', University of California Academic Senate Web site). 'Variation in shell morphology among populations can be enormous, not only throughout the geographic range of Cerion, but even among neighboring populations separated by less than 100 meters. This lavish yet geographically circumscribed diversity has led to an extensive body of literature dealing with Cerionidae. Much of the early work was primarily descriptive, and focused on parsing the various phenotypes among roughly 600 nominal species and nearly two dozen genera or subgenera. More recent research, particularly the work of Mayr, Gould, Woodruff, Goodfriend, as well as their students and collaborators addressed more basic biological questions, among them the origins as well as the geographic and temporal stability of morphological and genetic diversity, and the dynamics of hybrid zones and biogeographic patterns, both Holocene and Recent' (Cerion Research page, National Museum of Natural History Department of Invertebrate Zoology Web site). 'Cerion's exuberant morphological diversity (600 described species ) combined with the extreme rarity of reproductive isolation among morphotypes (only one unambiguous case of sympatry in the Bahamas) has long made this genus an object of fascination for evolutionists and of frustration for taxonomists. We have pursued an integrated approach of genetic and morphometric study based on field investigations of ecology and biogeography in the Bahamas. Cerion's morphotypes are not distributed haphazardly, but show definite patterns of correlation with habitat and geography. Although all morphotypes interbreed, hybrid zones tend to be narrow and characterized by highly local genetic anomalies unique alleles present in neither parental population. Different patterns of covariance in ontogeny, and habitat preferences, also indicate mat the morphotypes are distinctive, non-amalgamating entities (despite little difference in the frequencies of structural genes among them) that may be called species once a definition based on strict reproductive isolation is abandoned. Variation in structural genes, anatomy and morphology is non-concordant, but orderly for each criterion. Similar morphologies are often polyphyletic and evolved repeatedly as one possible ontogenetic route within a developmental program common to all Cerion. Although we cannot always distinguish among competing causes for observed patterns, we can establish genetic, morphological, anatomical, and biogeographic criteria for decisions when adequate evidence is available. The species of Cerion will be reduced by more than an order of magnitude from a list currently described' (Abstract).

PRESENTATION COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION, inscribed in the year of publication: "To Mrs. Ruggles, with regards of the Author. Hudson, N.Y., Nov. 1871." Fascinating and well written travel account by a single woman traveling alone in Cuba (at the time she was 38 years old). The author (1833-1909) published a number of books under the pseudonym W.M.L. Jay (see below). Richard E. Morris observes: "W.M.L. Jay submitted that the 'civil law of Cuba is kinder to the slave than ever our own was.' She went on to ask, however, 'How is a plantation negro, working all day long under the eye and whip of a driver, and locked into quarters at night, to bring these laws to bear?' It was a legitimate question to which no answer was given." (cited in "Hosts and guests in early Cuba tourism," in: Journal of Tourism History, 2016, p. 16). Leonardo Depestre Catony gives an excellent description of Woodruff's book, here translated: "The American traveler and writer Louisa Mathilde (sic) Woodruff wrote a book about Cuba that was the result of her stay in this country during the winter of 1870 to 1871 and that she titled 'My Winter in Cuba.' The volume was published in New York, in 1871, and did not go unnoticed, since its author - who frequently used the pseudonym of W.M.L. Jay - was emboldened to write others (not translated into Spanish), whose titles were Shiloh, The Daisy Seekers in 1885, Life Sunny Side in 1886, and Bellevue in 1891. The author, born in 1833, was 38 years old when she arrived in Havana on the Eagle steamer from New York in December 1870. The country enchants her from the first moment. The climate, the vegetation, the life that bustles, dazzle eyes accustomed to the harsh northern winter. All this is perceived in sympathetic descriptions. She stayed at the Telegrafo Hotel - which today survives, remodeled, in the central Paseo del Prado - and from there she embarks on her tours on foot, something that draws the attention of others because it is not usual for a woman alone and without a car in the city. She stops in the Plaza de Armas, in the commercial establishments - fisheries, shops, cigarette stores - observes the behavior of Cubans and Cuban women, criticizes this or that and does not fully share the customs that she sees, nor the control and the obstacles imposed by the Spanish metropolis, nor does she understand the ritual of Catholicism and parishioners. 'My Winter in Cuba' focuses its descriptions on the cities of Matanzas and Havana. The author visits the plantations of the Santa Sofía sugar mill; there she is moved by the way slaves live, with 'hardly a place to eat and sleep, where slaves and coolies are taken at night like sheep to the stable and locked there, until the call from the morning to work.' When she returns to Havana, and before leaving, she visits the Regla, Marianao, Puentes Grandes, Guanabacoa, all on the outskirts of the city. She will carry with her enough experiences for the book, even when it overlooks the war situation that a large part of the Island is experiencing, involved in the struggle for its independence." (translated from Catony's blog at Emisario Habana Radio online at habanaradio: "Louisa Mathilde Woodruff," posted 17 October 2018).
