Bought from the estate library of Donald J. Haarmann (1942-2017), a well-respected if quirky member of the Fireworks community. These books were found poorly stored, and some show moisture damage, but all are complete and readable. According to the ScienceMadness website, Don was “beloved for his eccentric, rambling posts and highly respected for his vast knowledge of energetic materials, ‘The WiZ’ was a huge presence in the pyrotechnics community long before his seven year tenure on Sciencemadness, as evidenced by his 1996 publication of The Wizard’s Pyrotechnic Formulary, among many other contributions to the public knowledge base.” See my other listings for the rest of the Don Haarmann books here: DISCLAIMER: I am not knowledgable on the subjects covered in this book, nor do I attest to the current accuracy or safety of any information contained in it. It is from one man’s estate collection of vintage and older publications. Please buy them for the historical entertainment in their reading.

POISONOUS & VENOMOUS MARINE ANIMALS: IN 3 VOLUMES, Bruce W. Halstead 1965-70 H/C Title: POISONOUS AND VENOMOUS MARINE ANIMALS: In 3 Volumes Author: Bruce W. Halstead, M.D. Published: 1965-70 Department of Defense, Washington DC ————————————————————— Format: Book No. Pages: 3000+ pgs Size: about 12 x 9-1/4 inches Edition: first edition Cover: hardcover Illustrations/Photos: color and b&w photos Language: English ————————————————————— About this Book: In three volumes – Volume 1 Invertebrates, 1965, 994 pages; Volume 2 Vertebrates Part I, 1967, 1070 pages; Volume 3 Vertebrates Part II, 1970, 1006 pages. Sponsored by the US Department of Defense, printed by the USGPO. All assumed to be first edition printings. Many illustrations, some in color. From the foreword to Volume 1, A complete survey of a broad field of science dating back to the dawn of history is rarely attempted in this day, but the present work is an example of such a study. It is unlikely that anyone but Dr. Halstead would have attempted or could have accomplished the task. It is particularly appropriate that this monograph on the poisonous and venomous marine animals of the world should have been undertaken by Bruce W. Halstead, whose name has been linked with the subject for several decades and whose publications and personal enthusiasm have provided the initial inspiration to many of the investigators who have begun to explore the field in recent years. The scope of the present work is truly comprehensive, and an effort has been made to include references to all published work which has appeared since antiquity. Persons carrying out research on these animals and their toxins know well. the difficulties of surveying the literature, difficulties due in part to the appearance of much important information in sources other than research publications. No single abstract journal even begins to cover this field, but Dr. Halstead has done the job for us and provided the comprehensive background essential to new studies. The relative lack of attention given until recently to poisonous and venomous marine animals is somewhat mystifying in the light of the widespread occurrence of such creatures and of the often remarkable biological actions of their poisons and venoms. Even now there are a host of such animals known to be capable of inflicting severe injuries in man, and yet chemical and pharmacological studies are nonexistent. Possible roles of most of these toxins in the ecology of the animals have not been investigated in spite of the obvious importance of this aspect. The present monograph will surely lead to an intensification of research effort in this fascinating realm and to discoveries of great scientific and medical importance. Dr. Halstead has written the definitive work in an important but neglected area of biology, and his treatise will be the major reference source for decades to come. We and others who will follow will be forever in his debt. From the foreword to Volume 2, The time is nearly past when one scholar can collect and record the writings of a single area of science. Within the next decade the literature on the venomous and poisonous marine animals will grow far beyond the grasp of any one scholar and perhaps beyond the scope of even a few. It is thus a source of great enjoyment to read a compendium of knowledge on a subject so varied and fascinating as that presented by Dr. Halstead and to find a degree of completeness that not only gives evidence of a carefully executed project but also demonstrates the author’s wide knowledge and understanding of a most difficult theme. Man’s dependency upon the sea will increase significantly during the next several decades. In addition to the obvious problems relating to ecology, nutrition, and pollution, man will face a fauna far more complex, more unpredictable, and perhaps more dangerous than that he has known upon land. As Dr. Halstead points out, our knowledge of the poisonous fishes which may adversely affect our health and economic potential is quite limited, and our ability to predict the appearance or disappearance of these animals in tropical and subtropical waters is, for all purposes, nonexistent. The problem of poisonous fishes is rapidly becoming recognized as one of significant public health importance and one which cannot be circumvented if we are to harvest the enormous food resources of our oceans. Dr. Halstead’s work gives us the sum total of experiences on this subject and indicates some guidelines along which future research may be conducted. It also points out, quite vividly, that while our data are oftentimes meager, our progress in pursuit of solutions has been orderly and encouraging. The present work has been expanded far beyond the scope originally contemplated by Dr. Halstead some 20 years ago. Yet its size has not decreased its usefulness. The treatise is a compromise in length, fullness of treatment, and diversity of subjects covered, and, while the author has made every effort to synthesize overlapping material, he has omitted no important contributions. One of the pleasures in reading this work is the historical approach to the theme. While some attempt has been made to evaluate certain data, Dr. Halstead has not tried to dictate solutions to the numerous complicated and controversial problems he unfolds. He has also admirably resisted the temptation to exploit the drama of this fascinating subject. Dr. Halstead’s own contributions to the topic need no introduction. They form the basis of much of our present knowledge on this science. His personal enthusiasm has stimulated much work and many investigators in marine zootoxicology, and those of us who have had the pleasure of his friendship these many years, can see in this treatise the vitality and perception of this remarkable scholar. No writer is better qualified to execute the compendium of the literature on venomous and poisonous marine animals. In the many photos below I have provided the tables of contents for all three volumes. ————————————————————— Condition: Good (G): Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects noted by the seller: — These books are all a bit musty smelling, as they were found in a workshop environment, please accept this before bidding — Haarmann’s ex-libris bookplate on inside front covers, his name inkstamped on the text block edges of each, with some light scuffing as well — Volume one has some toning to inside front cover and first couple leaves — I have leafed through all three volumes and find no highlighting or notes, but I am not excluding the possibility of such on a very limited basis — bindings are tight, interior pages are bright — Covers have some bumping and wear to edges and corners.

Add to your cart and request total from seller for combined shipping. Sales Tax may apply, that’s between you and ebay now. Please read and accept my terms of sale below before you bid. IN YOUR COMPUTER BROWSER, RIGHT-CLICK ON A PHOTO AND SELECT “VIEW IMAGE” TO SEE THE ORIGINAL LARGE IMAGE: You will find that the originals of the photos below are often larger than what ebay provides above. BY BIDDING ON OR PURCHASING THIS ITEM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING SELLER TERMS: 1) COMBINED SHIPPING/POSTAGE: a. I happily combine shipping (where possible, sometimes it isn’t), but orders over $10 total will likely require tracking now because of unacceptable Postal Service delays resulting in INR claims. Tracking/delivery confirmation seems to speed up shipments. So there might not be a discount on several inexpensive items combined, and you accept this. All international orders will require tracking, as provided by eBay. b. If you haven’t paid yet for multiple purchases, please wait for a combined invoice, which may take up to 24 hours to send you. Don’t worry, it’s not a race to see how fast you can pay. c. If you must pay immediately, make sure all the items are on the same payment transaction (same order). I will then be able to combine shipping (if possible) and send you a partial refund for overpayment of postage. Some people make numerous multiple purchases with separate payments and look for a shipping discount. That will not happen, so please add your items to your cart, and when you are done looking at my stuff, buy it all at once. Thanks! 2) POSTAGE: All USPS postage rates are calculated using the most affordable (not the quickest) shipping class, based on a pre-sale estimated weight and size of the package. Sometimes multiple options are offered. If you want to upgrade to a quicker, more expensive postal class not shown, you must let me know BEFORE you pay. All requests for special handling, extra packaging, etc. must be made prior to payment so that invoice can be adjusted. 3) INSURANCE: In the event of loss or damage on insured packages, buyer agrees to fulfill all requirements of the insurer in the processing of a claim, or forfeits their right to request a refund. 4) SALES TAX: Ebay has taken over all responsibility for sales tax collection for all states that require it. I have no control whatsoever over who pays sales tax, it is out of my hands. The same is true for all international taxes, duties and VAT. Please direct all questions/complaints to the good folks at Ebay. 5) INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We no longer ship any merchandise (as in postcards) via letter rate internationally. It is prohibited by the UPU (subject to seizure or return), and is also not trackable. International shipping is offered as a courtesy to those who can afford it, and is handled entirely through eBay. All Import duties, taxes, and charges are handled by eBay as well. I no longer ship directly, because of the excessive amount of “item not received” claims, resulting in my loss. Most of my international postcard buyers, who prefer to pay the lower letter rate postage, have a friend/relative in the USA to whom I can ship several postcards in a letter (for about $1.00-1.50 at time of this listing), and will specify this prior to payment. If you do this, then that friend will forward the postcards in a letter rate envelope to you the buyer, and the shipping risk will be yours, not mine. Multiple purchases can also be combined when you ship to a USA recipient. This is the way of the future on ebay, as more and more sellers move away from the risks of untracked international letter rate mail. 6) REPRODUCTION OF IMAGES: Seller is not selling the exclusive rights to reproduce images of the item offered. Buyer is of course free to reproduce as they wish, but seller retains and may exercise the right to reproduce any images of the item for any purpose before or after the sale, without permission from or compensation to the buyer. 7) LISTING DISCREPANCIES: If the Title, Description, and/or Photo on a listing do not match, for gosh sakes don’t buy it. Mistakes happen. Let me know instead so I can fix the listing. If you do buy, the item described in the Title of the listing takes precedence over anything else. If you don’t agree with that, I will consider that your request to cancel the transaction of the faulty listing.
