A first edition was published in 1953, but it omitted key Cornellians, historical anecdotes, and personal insights. Karen Penders St. Clair's twenty-first century edition returns Mrs. Comstock's voice to her book by rekeying her entire manuscript as she wrote it, and preserving the memories of the personal and professional lives of the Comstocks that she had originally intended to share. The book includes a complete epilogue of the Comstocks' last years and fills in gaps from the 1953 edition. Described as serious legacy work, the book is an essential part of Cornell University history and an important piece of Cornell University Press history. 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Environmentalists & Naturalists$2bisacsh 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Environmentalists & Naturalists. 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a925.9 700 $aComstock$b Anna Botsford$f1854-1930,$01022094 702 $aSt. Clair$b Karen Penders 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367655703321 996 $aThe Comstocks of Cornell$92427599 997 $aUNINA
