First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Clean unmarked pages, firmly bound; slight creasing to top of spine. A nicely kept copy. This is a well-researched account of a likely scientific fraud by J W Heslop Harrison, a Professor of Botany in the North of England, who apparently transplanted specimens to the island of Rum and later 'discovered' them as new and unusual finds. The book also throws doubt on the published results of an experiment performed by the professor to show that chemical induction of mutation caused the white form of the peppered moth to become darker in industrial areas. It was on the basis of this experiment and other work that J W Heslop Harrison gained election to the Royal Society in the 1920's.The book reads like a good detective story and is highly recommended to those with or without a scientific background. (Reader review) 276 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Natural History & Resources; ISBN/EAN: 9780374252823. Inventory No: dscf11320.

Dustwrapper has light shelfwear, a light crease on the back, otherwise in Fine condition, First edition, ppix, 224, b&w illustrations. In the 1940s. a distinguished professor of botany, J W Heslop Harrison announced the discovery of rare plants on the Isle of Rum in the Hebrides. This was the last straw for his botanical colleagues - the latest of a series of discoveries that had aroused suspicion over the years, many botanists believing he had invented his discoveries. A young Cambridge Don infiltrated the professor's expeditions and accused him of faking his results. Then - silence.The report was buried for 50 years but has now been uncovered by Karl Sabbagh and used as a starting point in unravelling a story that has been called the 'Piltdown Man of Botany'.
