Description
Berlin: Deutscher Zentralverlag, 1950. First edition. RARE FIRST EDITION OF THE BOOK THAT ESTABLISHED EVOLUTIONARY SYSTEMATIC BIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION. 23.5 X 15 cm hardcover: original paper cover on front cover, rebound in cloth boards, binder's label inside back cover, new endpapers, bookplate of Robert L Chevalier MD to front paste-down, [i-viii], 370 pp, 58 figures in text. Near fine in custom archival mylar cover. The rare first edition of this landmark work in the development of cladistic systematics. WILLI HENNIG (1913 � 1976) was a German biologist who first became interested in insect phylogenies. "Phylogenetic Systematics" (not published in English until 1966), marks a turning point in the history of systematic biology. This highly influential work, in which Hennig argues for the primacy of the phylogenetic system as the general reference system in biology and establishes what we now call evolutionary trees, was very controversial at the time of its appearance and it opened up possibilities for evolutionary biology that have still not been fully explored. "Though Hennig was a prisoner-of-war between May until October 1945, he was not held captive in an Allied camp. Rather he was immediately taken into the anti-malaria service of the British troops until his release from captivity. During this time at the end of the war, he wrote down the handwritten draft of his manuscript for the well-known "Grundz�ge" (published in 1950)."--The web-site of the Willi Hennig Society. The work was published in a very limited number of copies in the GDR (the political system to which he opposed strongly and outspokenly) and the real impact of it only really came with the first translation of it into English in 1966. From the time of Hennig's original formulation (in the present work) and up until the 1980s, cladistics constituted a minority approach to classification, but in the 1990s it quickly became the dominant method of classification in evolutionary biology. Contrary to the position generally held during his time, Hennig viewed historical inference as a strictly logical and scientific endeavor. Hennig's seminal contribution was underscored by CK Yoon in Naming Nature, pp 240-251 (2011): "This book, which would become the Bible, Quran, and Torah of the coming revolution, failed to grab the attention of taxonomists for a number of good reasons, not least its title. Far from light reading, the Basic Principles of a Theory of Phylogenetic Systematics was an explication of a theory of how to do taxonomy, or systematics, according to a group's evolutionary relationships, or its phylogeny. This was what taxonomists had been searching for since Darwin had decreed in the previous century that taxonomy should be evolutionary, should reflect life's genealogy. The evolutionary taxonomists' answer-to use one's expert intuition to identify the most important characteristics-had gone down in flames. The problem had at last been solved, and with what seemed as vanflla-plain and simple a solution as possible. Yet once considered, Hennig's method reveals itself as deeply radical. Hennig had determined which characters are the most important in ordering any group of living organisms and he had done so without any expert sense of or intuition about those groups."

He had high ideals Stateside, fighting for veterans literally destroyed by Agent Orange!. Dancer too returned to the Southlands, but his ambitions took him to the wrong side of the tracks as he became the number one "boy" for Tony Persia, the mob boss of LA. Fixx became a top gun defense lawyer, and Dancer persuaded him to take on Tony Persia as a client. Fixx fell in love with socialite Samantha Forbes, and married her. the money poured in, and they loved life in the fast lane.

She knew her husband kept bad company, that someday might be his undoing. Their marriage fell apart. Finally Tony Persia found himself in a jam that defied even Fixx's skills.
