Hardcover (Original Cloth). Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. First Edition. In the Foreword to Off-beat Biologist I promised, threatened might be a better word, a second volume of autobiography. In writing Off- beat, it had become obvious that one volume, even a largish one, would not accommodate all I had to say. In the end, some chapters already written, much of my background and almost all the accounts of professional and other travel were left out of Off-beat, with the intention that they should be integrated as a separate volume, Biologist a! Large. Here it is. Part I deals with the same era as Part I in Offbeat, but with the exception of Chapter 1, from another side of the fence. Part II describes how I came to burst my geographical bonds and start on my travels. Parts Ill-VI further record my visits, mostly professionally based, a few private, which took me to many parts of the world , The seventh and last Part of Biologist at Large introduces some new themes and elaborates on some old ones.

SIGNED BY AUTHOR, without dedication or inscription on title-page. 151pp. Illustrated with photographs. While brave British soldiers, sailors and airmen fought abroad, the task of keeping going was left to youngsters, pensioners and others unable, for whatever reason, to be in the front line. The challenge of the 'Dig For Victory' was taken up by the wives and sweethearts who were left behind. Dedicated women kept food on the tables of Britain and formed an Army of their own - the Women's Land Army. The true stories of those in this book reflect the joy and laughter, the pain and hurt, the tears and suffering of these unsung heroes of World War Two.

Simulated Leather, Gilt. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : None, as Issued. First Edition. Pages unnumbered (approximately ¾" thick), monochrome illustrations. Dedication:- this book is for my grandchildren, Peter, John, Ann, Mary. A moving account of Mary Kneese's life which spanned most of the twentieth century (she was born in 1898). She married for the first time at 20, and had three traumatic years in Australia, with an alcoholic, war-damaged husband, eventually returning to England with three very young children. After her return, she trained as a hairdresser, setting up her own business in the centre of Cambridge on the corner of Petty Cury. She continues her story up to 1953 when her youngest grandchild was born. Signed by author on title page. Given the dedication, and the fact that the book, while professionally bound, is reproduced from a type-script, it is likely that no more than ten, and perhaps as few as four copies were produced.
