Description
New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1989. First printing. TIMELY ANALYSIS OF THE BIOLOGY OF POLITICS BY ITS EMINENT SCHOLAR--WITH SIGNED AUTOGRAPH LETTER TO WILL CURTIS, CREATOR OF NPR'S THE NATURE OF THINGS. 15x23.5 cm hardcover, blue cloth binding, gilt title to spine, i-xvii, 298 pp, illustrations. Near fine in near fine jacket in protective mylar sleeve. BACK JACKET COVER: 'The Nature of Politics is the first solid and balanced synthesis of biology and political science, wedding these two subjects to show the future shape of an exciting new discipline. Masters's own research on the ethology of political leaders alone makes the book a valuable contribution." E.O. Wilson. LAID IN: Hand written letter inserted on Dartmouth stationary, dated April 11, to Will Curtis: "A number of people have commented to me on your kind remarks about The Nature of Politics on the air-waves. While the accidents of timing are such that, when I've heard you recently, the comments have been on other topics--including some on the ecology of kids that were directly connected with the lectures I've been giving in a course on these matters (called "Human Nature and Politics"). As always, you're extraordinarily effective in transmitting scientific information to a broad public. Personally, I'm grateful to have benefitted from your mention of my own work. Thanks, Roger Masters" ROGER DAVIS MASTERS (1933 - 2023) studied at Harvard (A.B. 1955), completed his Ph.D. (1961) at the University of Chicago, and served on the faculty at Yale (1961-67) and then Dartmouth College, with a two-year leave to serve as Cultural Attach� at the American Embassy in Paris (1969-1971). The central concern of his career was how the natural world influences human behavior, and creates opportunities for political action to improve societal outcomes. Masters' investigation of how nature influences human societies led to significant contributions in the field of international relations, as well as human ethology and sociobiology. This work included pioneering laboratory experiments in political communication. Later, Masters' research on biology and human behavior led to new epidemiological evidence regarding the behavioral impacts of neurotoxins, first on the consequences of lead poisoning, and then on the links between a common method of water fluoridation to elevated blood lead and a higher prevalence of violent crime, substance abuse and learning disabilities. PROVENANCE: WILLIS LANSING CURTIS (1917-2011) moved to Vermont in the 1960s to raise Jersey cattle and run a dairy farm. Altbough a talented actor and singer,young Will Curtis was in line to run the family shoe manufacturing business-the Curtis Shoe Company-in Marlborough, Massachusetts, wben the factory was sold in 1953. Will and his wife Jane promptly moved to West Hartford, Vermont, and bought a dairy farm for $9,000. It turned out to be a natural. Will was elected to the Vermont Legislature in 1960. At about the same time, he and Jane opened the Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock. Together, they began to write books, including Times Gone By, The World of George Perkins Marsh, and Return to These Hills. From these books and a lifelong love of the environment, Will and Jane drew material for "The Nature of Things," a daily public radio commentary series with listeners across the country. And in a fitting end to this cycle of creation, the syndicated commentary series turned eventually back into books, two collections called 'The Nature of Things and The Second Nature of Things. Twenty years later, Will remains one of the most familiar and beloved voices on Vermont Public Radio.
