About This Item
New York and London: Columbia University Press, 1968. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Though primarily a description and analysis of what scientists were thinking in the Age of Jackson, this work may be taken as a starting point for a study of the broad social relationships of science during that period. And it provides a background for an understanding of the nature of the Darwinian controversy. Original blue cloth binding, with silver titles. Mild bump to the spine heel. The dust jacket is price-clipped, with some occasional minor edgewear; otherwise a near fine copy.
