First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 311pp., xxiv. '1' in number line. Foreword by Edward O. Wilson. Many charts and graphs. Index, pp. 307-311. Glossy medium gray wrappers with black and white photo of earth from space on top half front cover, red box across middle front cover for title lettering in black; editor names and that of Edward O. Wilson in light blue over medium gray across lower front cover. Two creases on the diagonal (3/4" close to corner; 1 3/4" at 1 1/2" on the perpendicular to corner, begins at top edge, but does NOT extend to right edge, stopping short by 1 1/2") upper right front cover, which echo throughout book, annoyingly, but text not seriously affected; some stray creases (1 3/4") on pp. 67-96, occurring within the wide margins and not reaching either page top or fore-edge: without impact signs on book edges, these creases look like they may have been incurred during artifact manufacture, rather than by accident or abuse by previous owner. No previous owner names. Clean text. Book looks new, completely unused, but for creases.
