The leading American botanist of the nineteenth century, Asa Gray helped organize the main generalizations of the science of plant geography. The manual of botany that carries his name is still in use today. Friend and confidant of Charles Darwin, Gray became the most persistent and effective American protagonist of Darwin's views. Yet at the same time, he believed that religion and Darwin's theory of natural selection could coexist. A. Hunter Dupree's authoritative biography offers the first full-length interpretation of one of America's most important men of science. 505 pages, indexed.

The Sweet Smell of Sagebrush: A Prisoner's Diary 1903-1912

By: Anonymous

Price: $30.00

Seller ID: mcwy2001

Binding: Softcover

Condition: New

The origins of this book are obscure. For more than thirty years the original manuscript has been in the Wyoming State Penitentiary files at the Carbon County Museum in Rawlins, Wyoming. While it was probably written around 1923, this book covers some specific events in Wyoming history dating from 1903 until late 1912. These events are verifiable in prison records and period newspapers. The author's close association and direct participation in significant history are without question. Chronological accuracy seems to suggest the text may have been a transcript from a prisoner's daily diary. 15...

Fashion and Women's Attitudes in the Nineteenth Century

By: C. Willett Cunnington

Price: $18.00

Seller ID: mcw2000

ISBN-13: 9780486431901

Binding: Softcover

Condition: Like New

The nineteenth century, according to C. Willett Cunnington, was a period when the cult of modesty was a tactical maneuver camouflaged as a virtue. It was also a period when euphemisms were used for such terms as "naked," "breast," and "leg," and when underclothing was vaguely spoken of as "lingerie."Cunnington, an early twentieth-century authority on fashion, argues that the Victorian matron was governed as much by current popular style as she was by instinct and custom. In a light, amusing, and highly readable account, he not only describes what Englishwomen wore in the nineteenth century but...
