Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First edition. Signed on the title page, and uncommon thus. His first book. A deeply admired, readable, and frankly profound work of ecophilosophy, often cited by ecocritics and environmental writers alike. As the jacket describes, "The Spell of the Sensuousdraws us into a remarkable series of investigations regarding the fluid, participatory nature of perception, and the reciprocity between our senses and the sensuous earth." Abrams springs from Merleau-Ponty and other phenomenologists to compellingly explore how the evolution of alphabetic language itself aided in our damaging disconnect from the natural world. But ultimately a hopeful book. Blurbs by Gary Snyder, Bill McKibben, Thomas Berry, Lynn Margulis, and Max Oelschlaeger among others. This copy is very good on account of a small puncture to the lower corner of the rear board and some foxing/soiling to top edge of the text block. In a very good jacket with edge wear and creasing to jacket flaps. A laminated pressed flower bookmark is laid in.
