Item description from seller

5.75"x8.5" 320 numbered indexed pages. Blue denim cloth boards. Gold letters to front and spine. Top edged painted teal. DJ design by Janet Halveron. Author photo by Jim Marshall. Spine straight, sewn binding tight, pages clean w/soft tone. Not x-library, unclipped (no price), PON stamped on ffep and inside back board. Mended tears to heel and crown of DJ. Tone to DJ. Faint foxing throughout. Secure ship w/track #. This slashing broadside is aimed at halting the witless, overwhelming tide of human energy that threatens to spoil beyond repair some of nature's most splendid achievements - the waters, wildlife and vegetation of the American continent. Here is a sharp outcry that commands every thoughtful American to reflect on the price we pay for the technological blitz-kerieg that we confuse with Progress. Such glories as the Florida Everglades, the lower gorges of the Grand Canyon, the Great Smokies and the Great Swamp of NJ, places that we need not only to refresh the human soul but to serve as well as irreplaceable storehouses of nature, may soon be forever scarred.
