  • Quality Scientific Model of a Hydra

    Quality Scientific Model of a Hydra

    A very good example of a hand painted biological model from the 1960’s. Now collectable and 1906 “scientifically decorative”.

    The Hydra is a small fresh water animal with remarkable properties. These predatory little creatures possess radial symmetry and can be found in many un-polluted fresh water ponds. Multi-cellular and only a few millimetres long they lend themselves to microscopic study. They have an incredible regenerative capacity which makes them extremely interesting … they do not appear to age or die of old age.

    The tubular body is secured by a sticky foot called the basal disc. At the other end a mouth opening is surrounded by a number of tentacles each of which is clothed in stinging cells (oouch!). The nasty bits explosively discharge a dart of neurotoxins into the prey sometimes in their hundreds (double ooouch!). They reproduce by growing “buds” on the body wall which become miniature Hydra that break away (convenient). They also have another more complex manner of reproduction when times get tough for food. All of this and more makes the Hydra a very interesting little beauty to study.

    Hard to get quality model of the common but very mysterious everlasting Hydra

  • Night of the Big Heat – John Lymington – First Edition 1960

    Night of the Big Heat – John Lymington – First Edition 1960

    Published by Dutton, New York in 1960.

    Missing its front end paper and tape marks to the boards but this is a first edition of this great Sci-Fi classic. The dust jacket is very good indeed no chips or creases.

    Tension, drama and seriously scary …. this is THE NIGHT OF THE BIG HEAT!

    Read it with the heating turned up full … but with a cool beer

    Russian Science Fiction – Destination: Amaltheia (and Others)

    We love this soft cover collection of early Russian Science Fiction. Translated by Leonid Kolesnikov and published by the Foreign Languages Publishing House Moscow in 1960.

    Contains – The Astronaut by Valentina Zhuravlyova; Over the Abyss by Alexander Belayev; The Maxwell Equations by Anatoly Duieprov; The Valley of the Four Crosses by Igor Zabelin; The Golub-Yavan by Kirill Stanyukovich; Flying Flowers by Mikhail Vasilyev and Destination Amaltheia by Arkady and Boris Strugatisky.

    Nice condition and we like the portraits and biography placed on a foldout front and back cover.
