Book Description

New York: Sterling Publishing Co.. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. Hard Cover. 0806969083 . [4],154 pages, well illustrated, cloth, dj, owners name and address inside front cover otherwise fine. 1st U.S. edition. First published in Great Britain in 1987 as "The Drunken Goldfish". From the dust jacket: "Have you ever wondered how goldfish behave under the influence of alcohol? or what effect drinking the blood of psychiatric patients has on spiders? Or whether the flatworm has a memory? These questions and hundreds like them are answered in William Hartston's Drunken goldfish, and they have all been subjects of learned academic papers, and therefore qualify for inclusion in this irreverent and irrelevant compilation of scientific knowledge. Do scientists really spend time researching these astounding topics? You bet - footnotes, cross-references, and the rest of the scholarly apparatus that goes with all the best Ph.D. dissertations confirm that hard-earned research-grant dollars are spent in a great effort to advance our knowledge." .
