Author: Huxley, Julian
Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: New York: Harper & Brothers, 1953. First edition. SIGNED BY HUXLEY, AN ANALYSIS OF EVOLUTION BASED ON LECTURES AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY IN 1950.-51. 13 x 20 cm hardcover, blue paper-covered boards, blue cloth spine, ink signature of author on title page, i-x, 182 pp, 9 photographic illustrations. SIR JULIAN HUXLEY (1887 – 1975) was a British evolutionary biologist, eugenicist, and internationalist. He was a proponent of natural selection, and a leading figure in the mid-twentieth century Modern Synthesis. He was secretary of the Zoological Society of London (1935–1942), the first Director of UNESCO, a founding member of the World Wildlife Fund and the first President of the British Humanist Association. Huxley was well known for his presentation of science in books and articles, and on radio and television. He directed an Oscar-winning wildlife film. He was awarded UNESCO's Kalinga Prize for the popularisation of science in 1953, the Darwin Medal of the Royal Society in 1956, and the Darwin–Wallace Medal of the Linnaean Society in 1958. He was also knighted in that same year, 1958, a hundred years after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace announced the theory of evolution by natural selection.
