Some faint and occasional spotting on endpapers, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. H G Well’s classic work on biology, written with his zoologist son and his former biology tutor has been described as ‘the best popular introduction to the biological sciences’. It is notable for its introduction of modern ecological concepts.
