BATESON, W. [William] and R. [Reginald] C. [Crundall] Punnett. ON GAMERIC SERIES INVOLVING REDUPLICATION OF CERTAIN TERMS.
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1911. Paperback Fine
A Fine offprint in original printed wrappers from the Journal of Genetics, Vol. I, No. 4, December 9, 1911. Sm. 4to.
In 1911 Bateson and his co-worker R. C. Punnett, introduced their Reduplication Hypothesis. This represents a further step in developing this "rationalist" program to deal with exceptions to the rule of the independent assortment of characters. When Punnett and he discovered what they called "Partial Gametic Coupling" or what we call "Linkage", they believed they could account for it by a further modification of the fundamental Mendelian ratio. (Olby "Mendel, Mendelism and genetics"). William Bateson was the first experimental researcher of hereditary principles on a statistical basis, coined the word "genetics" as a speaker at the third International Conference of Plant Hybridization in 1906, and rediscovered Mendel's work. With Punnett, Bateson was the founder of the "Journal of Genetics." The rediscovery of Mendel's work transformed Bateson's career. He reinterpreted experimental data already available in Mendelian terms." (DSB, I, pp. 505-506).

BATESON, William. MATERIALS FOR THE STUDY OF VARIATION TREATED WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO DISCONTINUITY IN THE ORIGIN SPECIES. (Exhibited at the Printing and the Mind of Man Exhibition at Earl's Court. PMM 356).
London: Macmillan, 1894. First Edition Hardcover Very Good+
A Very Good+ hardback First Edition First Printing in original green cloth binding with gilt lettering spine. Mild cover edge wear, foxing edges, foxing first and last few pages. 8vo. xv, 598 pp. + Ads. 204 illustrations in text.
In this study Bateson focuses on unusual physical variations in animal specimens which he classified and noted where deviations to expected body parts occurs by replacement of just remain the same. Bateson championed the work of Mendel and played an important role in advancing rediscovery of Mendels genetic experiments and conclusions. Garrison and Morton note that "Bateson was convinced that discontinuity was the more important type of variation among animals and plants 'in some unknown way apart of their nature and not directly dependent upon natural selection at all' showed that Darwin's concept of variation needed modification." (G&M 237). PMM 356 noted that this is the volume by which Bateson was represented at the PMM Earl's Court exhibition.

Very Good+ First Edition in a modern half leather patterned board binding, new endpapers. Complete with three engravings , as issued. Scattered mild foxing. Mild soil, number and initials title page. 8vo. 280 pp.
William Beaumont's (1795-1853) contribution to medical history resulted from the opportunity created in 1822 when...he attended Alexis St. Martin, who had a hole blown into his stomach by the accidental discharge of a musket....The permanent gastric fistula enabled Beaumont to make the first accurate scientific study of the physiological processes of gastric digestion. Beaumont conduced his experiments over a period of eight years...His research established the presence and role of hydrochloric in the stomach, the temperature of the stomach during digestion, the movement of the stomach walls and the relative digestibility of certain foods. These findings revolutionized the theories of digestion (Norman 100 books Famous in Medicine 61) Heirs of Hippocrates 1411: "...A cornerstone of modern physiology and a great American medical Classic".

BECQUEREL, Henri, Pierre Curie, Marie Sklodovska Curie, Svante-August Arrhenius, Niels-Ryberg Fonsen, Bjoernstjerne Bjoernson and Randal Cremer. Nobel Laureates. LES PRIX NOBEL EN 1903.
Stockholm: Imprimerie Royale / P. A. Norstedt, 1906. First Edition Hardcover Near Fine
Near Fine First Edition First Printing in contemporary half morocco marbled board binding with mild wear. With photographs of the laureates, the Nobel Medals and the certificates. Includes the Nobel Lectures of Henri Becquerel, Pierre Curie (in French) and Svante Arrhenius (in Swedish). Scarce with OCLC reporting only 2 copies.
It is interesting that Marie Curie "by tradition" did not give a Nobel Lecture upon receiving this prize. It is not clear what "tradition" meant in 1903 for a woman, particularly one who was quite shy. However, she did give a lecture on winning her second Nobel Prize (chemistry) in 1911. Pierre Curie's lecture was delayed until 1905 due to illness. In his lecture, he was very precise in delineating those discoveries that were by Maire alone and those in which they both participated.

Offered is a Fine entire issue of Comptes Rendus in modern red wrappers with white title label front cover. Sm. 4to.
Nothing that Becquerel subsequently accomplished was as important as this discovery [of radioactivity], by which he opened the way to nuclear physics. Nevertheless, there were two other occasions on which he stood directly on the path of history: when he identified electrons in the radiations of radium (1899-1900) and when he published the first evidence of a radioactive transformation (1901). (DSB Vol. 1, p. 559).

BEE, Clair. (Signed). THE SHADOW 1929. Rider College Yearbook.
Trenton NJ: Rider College, 1929. First Edition Hardcover Very Good
SIGNED AND INSCRIBED "SINCERE GOOD WISHES" BY CLAIR F. BEE. Very Good First Edition. 4to. Clair Bee was Director of Higher Accountancy and Athletics at Rider College. His inscription and signature are next to his picture in the 1929 Yearbook of Rider College, THE SHADOW. His academic life at Rider College preceded his writing the Chip Hilton Series of sports stories and his authorship of the Clair Bee Sports Library. He went from Rider College to coach basketball at Long Island University where he recorded the best winning percentage of any college coach. He was then appointed Director of Athletics at West Point. Yearly awards, Clair Bee Coach of the Year and Chip Hilton Player of the Year, are given to recognize coaches and players who best exemplify the competitive and ethical standards Clair Bee described in the Chip Hilton Series. There is also a full page photograph of Clair Bee (page 131). Simulated leather covers show mild wear. There is scattered foxing. Clair Bee's autograph is scarce, especially this early in his career. This would be the centerpiece of a Clair Bee Collection.
