- Berg, Raissa, Acquired Traits: Memoirs of a Geneticist From the Soviet Union,
- Viking Press Hardcover, 6.25x9.5, dustjacket, 483 pp. Very good condition, black marker
mark on bottom page edges. "Born in St. Petersburg in 1913, daughter of a renowned scientist, Raissa
Berg was a witness to the entire era of the building of Communism. Her vivid memories of youth in
the fledgling days of Soviet rule and of her distinguished scientific career provide a brilliantly ironic
view of day-to-day life in 20th century Russia and an unprecedented portrait of an intellectual
generation caught in the struggle between truth and ideology. Berg worked and studied at a time of
startling achievement in the field of genetics. But under Stalin, and for many years after him, science
was given a political agenda. Genetic research was required to support predetermined, 'ideologically
correct' conclusions -- among them, the doctrine of acquired traits. According to this doctrine, traits
acquired during individual development could be inherited; if you could change someone during his
lifetime, his offspring would inherit the new characteristics. The Soviet government wanted evolution
to tend toward revolution, and this was to be accomplished in the course of a single generation. But
the truth revealed in the work of Berg and her colleagues supported opposite conclusions, and Berg
was unwilling to play the research game by government rules. ... she emigrated to the United States
in 1974. ... ACQUIRED TRAITS is an invaluable document in the history of science and a tribute to the
integrity of the individual under an oppressive regime." [from the book jacket] Dedicated to Andrey

Leonhard Euler. The general problem -- in Gauss's words, 'to determine the orbit of a heavenly body,
WITHOUT ANY HYPOTHETICAL ASSUMPTION, from observations not embracing a great period of time,'
required a solution that both exposed the fraudulent-axiomatic assumption of 'linearity in the small'

- Timoshenko, Stephen, History of Strength of Materials,
- Dover Books
Paperback, 6x9, 452 p. Cover worn, very little yellow highlighting, generally text in good condition.
"... This excellent historical survey of the strength of materials with many references to the theories
of elasticity and structure is based on an extensive series of lectures delivered by the author at Stanford
University, Palo Alto, California. Timoshenko explores the early roots of the discipline from the great
monuments and pyramids of ancient Egypt through the temples, roads, and fortifications of ancient
Greece and Rome. The author fixes the formal beginning of the modern science of the strength of
materials with the publication of Galileo's book, 'Two Sciences,' and traces the rise and development
as well as industrial and commercial applications of the fledgling science from the 17th century through
the 20th." [from the book cover] Book I.D. Number: 756 -- Price: $5.00
- Trueta, Joseph, Studies of the Development and Decay of the Human Frame,
- W. B. Saunders, Company, Philadelphia, 1968 Hardcover, 8.75x11, no dustjacket, many
photographs, very good condition. "This book deals with the fascinating story of the development of
the human skeleton, that fundamental inner structure which places man above all other living creatures,
for it is mainly due to its unique refinement that man can stand erect and that his brain is placed high
above all other organs. Nevertheless, for this privilege, he pays dearly, both in suffering and in the loss
of mobility in the late stages of life. As an orthopaedic surgeon for over 40 years, I have witnessed
-- and even contributed to - the changing attitude of the members of my specialty who, from a
carpentry approach to orthopaedics, have taken a growing interest in the study of the nature and
reactions of the living tissues which constitute the skeleton. It is this interest which has increasingly
opened up the laboratory facilities to us, and has not only enlarged our understanding of the
phenomena involved in the process of growth and disease of the human frame, but has also made it
possible for the orthopaedic surgeon to contribute to symposia and conferences on purely research
subjects. ... My intention is not to produce another text book as the field is already excellently
covered, but simply to describe the succession of events which , in the course of time, has raised the
jelly organisms of the sea in the paleolithic dawn of the Earth to the complicated structure of the rigid
inner frame of present-day man. To prevent a feeling of frustration I must warn the reader, ... that
many of the points made in these pages are still under discussion, and in other cases there is by no
means unanimous agreement with my conclusions ..." Book I.D. Number: 426 -- Price:
