Paperback. Condition: Good. Man and Environment (1974) by Robert Arvill ? A Pelican Original, Sold by Crappy Old Books Long before climate change was front-page news and reusable tote bags became fashion statements, Robert Arvill was sounding the alarm with Man and Environment . First published in 1974 as part of the iconic Pelican Original series, this quietly urgent book explores humanity?s uneasy relationship with the natural world?from the smog-choked cities to the vanishing wilderness. With clear-eyed analysis and a measured sense of doom, Arvill charts the toll of industrial progress on land, air, and water while offering glimmers of hope through conservation, planning, and plain common sense. It?s a snapshot of a world just waking up to its ecological responsibilities, written in the brisk, no-nonsense style that only a ?70s paperback can deliver. Condition: Yellowing pages, a spine that?s done its fair share of bending, and the faint smell of damp optimism?but still holding together like the biosphere (for now). Crappy Old Books: Recycling neglected paperbacks into cult classics?one musty eco-manifesto at a time.…
