A propos de cet article

Human Destiny by Lecomte du Noüy, published by Longmans, Green and Co. in 1947. First edition, with 1947 appearing on both the title and copyright pages. A substantial work by the French biophysicist and philosopher examining human evolution, probability, morality, science, religion, and the philosophical implications of biological development. Du Noüy attempts to reconcile scientific observation with questions of human purpose and spiritual development, making the book an interesting example of mid-20th-century writing at the intersection of science, philosophy, and religion. This copy retains its original illustrated dust jacket, featuring the Robert A. Millikan endorsement on the front panel and contemporary review excerpts on the rear. Condition: Very Good hardcover in a Good original dust jacket. Binding remains firm and square. Interior is generally clean with age-toning appropriate to the period. Boards appear well preserved with only light shelf wear. Dust jacket shows moderate overall age and wear, including rubbing, toning, edge wear, small chips and tears, and loss around the upper spine area. Rear panel shows additional toning and spotting. Jacket remains substantially complete and is currently protected in a clear Mylar cover. Please review photographs for full condition details. Significance / Collector Appeal: Du Noüy was a noted biophysicist associated with the Rockefeller Institute and Pasteur Institute, and Human Destiny became his best-known popular philosophical work. It attracted considerable attention after publication for its attempt to place biological evolution within a broader moral and philosophical framework. The original dust jacket is an important plus. Many surviving copies of this title are found jacketless, making an intact jacketed first edition more appealing to collectors of history of science, science and religion, evolutionary thought, and mid-century intellectual history. Shipping / Returns: Carefully packed for shipment. Dust jacket will remain protected in its clear Mylar cover. Ships via USPS Media Mail unless otherwise requested. International shipping available. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks policies. SCI 3b.…
