A contemporary response to the theories of Lowell on the likelihood of life on Mars and theories about supposed canals on its surface. Written in refutation to Percival Lowell's "Mars and Its Canals" (1906), this work argues that life, as we know it, cannot exist elsewhere in the universe. Wallace (1823-1913) was a contemporary of Charles Darwin who independently came up with the idea of 'Natural Selection.' Charles H. Smith wrote about this work, "For many years one of Wallace's least remembered books, Is Mars Habitable? is increasingly being recognized as one of the first examples of the proper application of the scientific method to the study of extraterrestrial atmospheres and geography--that is, as one of the pioneer works in the field of exobiology."

Chicago, Ill. , The University OF Chicago Press, 1912. Hardcover. 8vo. Xxxv, 308 pages. From preface: "This book is an evolutionary study of Christendom. Although it loargely takes the form of research into ancient history, it is in substance an inquiry into vital questions of today. Owing to a recent separation of Church and State, there is a tendency to take for granted that religion deals only with matters of belief about things what have no concern for ‘practical' persons, or that it relates only to private, individual affairs. Hence the need for pointing out that the vital religious ideas of Christian society took shape in response to a social pressure as tremendous and compelling as that in which we live today. " SUBJECT (S) : Jews - History - To 70 A. D; Jews - Social life and customs. Gilt lettering on spine is fading. Some slight bumping to edges and spine. Marking of previous owner.
