Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: VG. 1st ed. Orange cloth cover. Issued in the Smithsonian International Symposia Series. f/piece (photo of Dillon Ripley and Rene Dubos), xxi+560; prev.owner's small gilt label top front pastedown otherwise near pristine; unclipped jacket minimally worn and though generally clean there is a scatter of tiny brown flecks down front edge, short faint vertical rubbed line on front and hint of spine rubbing - none of this serious and it remains VG in my view. A very wide-ranging symposium covering issues from the nature of human evolution via demography history and political ideology to philosophical topics such as ethics and individualism with numerous big names participating such as Stephen Toulmin, Jane B. Lancaster, Peter Laslett, Kenneth Boulding, Asa Briggs, Rene Dubos, John Passmore and Mary Midgley. Seller Inventory # 009157
