About This Item
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1938. FIRST EDITION, hardcover with dust jacket, very good. Full green cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. Pages slightly age-toned. Jacket is not price-clipped but there is clear tape reinforcement to the top edge of the spine. General, even soiling to the jacket and light wear. Overall a EXCELLENT book in a VERY GOOD dust jacket. Good gift. William Emerson Ritter, Ph. D. (18561944) was an American biologist. Ritter initiated and shaped the Marine Biological Association of San Diego (now Scripps Institution of Oceanography) and the American Society for the Dissemination of Science (now the Science Service and Science News). Innovative and entrepreneurial, with a deep desire for human service, he worked tirelessly to educate people in science thinking. He was the first biologist to propose a theory of systems, and seems to be the originator of the term organicism for biological purposes. . First Edition. Full Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good. Illus. by Allan Brooks. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover.
