Seller: Type Punch Matrix

Title: JOURNEY INTO FEAR
Author: Ambler, Eric
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Very good in very good jacket.
Description: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1940. First printing. Very good in very good jacket.. First US edition of Ambler's classic spy novel, set at the beginning of the Second World War and published just after the author's own enlistment in the British Army. Like many later thrillers that followed Ambler's template, JOURNEY INTO FEAR stars a civilian involuntarily drawn into violence and intrigue abroad, who proves himself less helpless and naive than his enemies first suppose. Set against the contemporary background of a neutral Turkey during the "phoney war" period before the fall of France, the story's geopolitical particulars were updated by Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles for the 1943 film adaptation - the protagonist was also changed to be American, although the existence of Englishmen was not, strictly speaking, a historical anachronism even three years later. A handsome copy in the striking dust jacket. 7.5'' x 5''. Original blue-stamped orange cloth. In original unclipped ($2.00) dust jacket. 275, [1] pages. Blue topstain. Light wear to boards, slight spine lean. Some chipping and small closed tears to jacket edges, spot of dampstain at top of front flap fold.

Seller: Jeff Weber Rare Books

Title: "Amino Acid Biosynthesis in Torulopsis Utilis and Neurospora Crassa." Offprint from: Journal of Biological Chemistry, vol. 213, no. 1.
Author: ABELSON, Philip H. (1913-2004), & Henry J. VOGEL.
Seller: Jeff Weber Rare Books (Switzerland)
Description: No place:: Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1955., 1955. 8vo. 355-364 pp. Tables. Printed wrappers. Ownership rubber stamp of Norman Horowitz, California Institute of Technology. Fine. Abelson was a remarkable scientist with a wide range of areas in which he was expert. In 1939 he and Edwin McMillan discovered the first transuranic element (Neptunium), and Abelson went on to develop a liquid thermal diffusion process which was used to enrich uranium for the first atomic bomb. During the 1950's he discovered that amino acids can survive in fossils, a finding that would greatly influence biochemists and the study of paleontology. He later became editor of Science.
