BUCK,  Pearl.  OF MEN AND WOMEN. New York: The  John  Day  Company
(1941).  First  Edition. A book based on Buck's belief that "our  very
democracy  is  threatened  by the unbalance between  men  and  women."
SIGNED  and  INSCRIBED by the author on the front endpaper for  Ashley
Montagu    "with    deep  appreciation."   Ashley   Montagu   was   an
anthropologist  and  a prolific writer whose writing  credits  include
over  50  books.  He  was   an  early  proponent  of  gene-environment
interaction  and  constantly stressed the effect an individual's  life
history  had  upon  the  potential  and  limitations  provided  by  an
individual's  genetic  makeup.  Some  of  Montagu's  best-known  works
include  THE NATURAL SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN (1953) and THE ELEPHANT  MAN
(1971),  which  inspired the Tony Award-winning play and  movie.  Near
Fine in a Good dustwrapper.                                    $450.00
