Hurst, the author and Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Cambridge, England.: "We live in an age of scientific research when important discoveries are made every day and there is a danger lest, in the multiplicity of these discoveries, essential synthetic values may be lost in a maze of detail. After thirty years' experiments carried out in different parts of the world, with representative species of every type of living organism, the time seems to be ripe for a gathering together of the multitudinous facts which go to make up the genetical story of creative evolution."

Cloth. Condition: Good. First Edition. Illustrated, large octavo, pp xxii, 365, clean internally, cloth slightly worn and marked, [From the library of Sir John Burnett, with his signature on the front endpaper. A distinguished academic career and a lifelong interest in fungi, botany and nature conservation made him the ideal champion for biological recording in the UK. He held that effective nature conservation could be achieved only if good quality information about species and their habitats was accessible to all who needed it - a belief that made him perfectly suited to run the National Biodiversity Network, founded in 2000. He was convinced that academics with high administrative posts must continue with some personal research, in his case on the myxomycetes.].
