About This Item
NY: Knopf, 1999. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very good. Inscribed in the year of publication on half-title page: "For Torsten Wiesel, A Benzer fan. With warmest regards, Jonathan Weiner, April 1999." Wiesel shared the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries about the visual-cognitive system, and he went on to be the president of Rockefeller University. Jonathan Weiner won the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction for The Beak of the Finch. This book, his next, explores how genes are connected to behavior through the story of "maverick scientist" Seymour Benzer and his innovative fruit fly studies. A fine book in a very good plus jacket with a little rubbing/soiling to spine and one short tear and attending light crease at the top of the front panel. A nice science association. Both Weiner and Wenzel live in New York City.
Synopsis
Also the author of THE BEAK OF THE FINCH, Jonathan Weiner lives in Bucks County, PA.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
