Text/NEW. Stated1962 First Edition. Giilt embossed green linen boards/Fine. DJ/NF; short closed edge tears w/trace soiling. Classic introduction to the science of biology by microbiologist John Tyler Bonner of Princeton Univ. Written as a supplement to biology textbooks, the volume is suited for the general reader as well. The six chapters are: Chapter 1, The Cell; 2, Evolution; 3. Genetics; 4, Development, 5, Simple to Complex; and, 6, Man. Clarity of prose is fortified with excellent line drawings.
