Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First edition. An important association copy, inscribed by one of the lead authors, renown biologist Paul Ehrlich, to the equally esteemed, National Book Award--winning Stephen Jay Gould: "For Steve, with warmest regards. Fight on! Paul." Scarce signed by any contributor--the first example we've seen, and a good one. This book is the product of a year-long study involving over 200 hundred scientists tasked with projecting the biological outcomes of nuclear war. In the two key papers, Carl Sagan presents the atmospheric and climatic implications and Ehrlich follows with the biological consequences. The contributors to two panel conversations that are also collected include a who's who of atmospheric scientists and significant biologists including (but not limited to) Nobel Laureate Paul Crutzen, Donald Kennedy, Thomas Eisner, John Harte, John P. Holdren, Walter Orr Roberts, and Lewis Thomas (Lives of the Cell), who provides the foreword. See photos for the full list of bios. The book finishes with a dialogue between US and Soviet scientists. Ehrlich is best known for his deeply influential and controversial book The Population Bomb(1968)about overpopulation and resource scarcity, a topic which has defined his career and perhaps overshadowed his distinguished achievements in ecology and conservation biology (including classic butterfly studies). The book was called alarmist by some, but Ehrlich years later said that"perhaps the most serious flaw inThe Bombwas that it was much too optimistic about the future." He's spent his career at Stanford. Stephen Jay Gould is considered one of the most influential popular scientist writers of the 20th century. An evolutionary biologist, in his field he's known especially for his theory of "punctuated equilibrium," which holds that evolution operates through times of rapid, extreme change (e.g. the Anthropocene) followed by relative stability. He argued forcefully against creationism, describing religion and science as separate fields with different emphases and equal merits. He also was against sociobiology and had a longstanding debate with his Harvard colleague E.O. Wilsonperhaps the only contemporary science writer of his staturewarning against a "deterministic view of human society and human action." He was the winner of the National Book Award in science in 1981 for The Panda's Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History and a finalist for the same award the following year for The Mismeasure of Man, which did win the National Book Critics Circle Award. He died at 60 of cancer in 2002. A very near fine book with only light rubbing to spine ends; in a very good jacket with some minor wear to lower spine and streaks of rubbing where paper turns to cloth on the boards. With a handsome letter-press bookplate from a previous bookseller on the front paste down affirming provenance. A significant addition to any science or climate change collection and arguably, most unfortunately, very much of renewed relevance in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the specter of a nuclear attack and retaliation.

It was executive-produced by Adrian Malone, produced by David Kennard, Geoffrey Haines-Stiles, and Gregory Andorfer, and directed by the producers, David Oyster, Richard Wells, Tom Weidlinger, and others. It covers a wide range of scientific subjects, including the origin of life and a perspective of our place in the universe.
