Sobre este artículo
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1984. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. Inscribed by the biographer on the title page: "For Todd Frazier, Barbara Sicherman." Uncommon signed. "An integrated work of biography and letters," the book consists of Sicherman's contextualizing discussions with Hamilton's letters interspersed. Alice Hamilton was a founding industrial toxicologist and is considered one of these most important figures in American environmental history. She was the first woman on the faculty at Harvard and her work led the establishment of the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration, better known as OSHA. She was also a mentor to Harriett Hardy who followed in her footsteps in industrial toxicology or workplace heath.
Gray cloth boards with a lavender cloth spine. With the recipient Frazier's clear address label on the pastedown. Very near fine with only a faint speckle of foxing to upper text block face. In a very good jacket with wear and small nicks especially to corners and spine ends.

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
