First Edition (1993), not directly stated, but First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence, in accordance with Oxford University Press's customary practice at the time of publication. Fine in Very Good+ DJ: Book shows binding square and secure; text clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text.. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome, like-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing no flaws. Bright, crisp and clean. Corners sharp. Virtually 'As New'. The DJ shows only minor indications of very light use; faint sunning to the background field of the backstrip (the titles are unaffected: bold and clearly legible); a small crack in the DJ paper about an inch from the top of the front hinge; the sunning is also evident along the front hinge and some of the upper left quadrant of the front panel; just a hint of wear to the extremities; the price is unclipped. Clean, intact, and attractive. Not far from 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 4to. (11.75 x 9.4 x 0.85 inches). Introduction by Mostafa Tolba. Profusely illustrated with photographs in color. Language: English. Weight: 37.7 ounces. Hardback with DJ. Aimed at a wide general audience, this attractive book covers all aspects of deserts: their physical features, plant and animal life, human inhabitants, oil and mineral resources, desertification, and conservation. The book's longest chapter gives individual attention to each of the world's major deserts and desert regions. Deserts is liberally (and beautifully) illustrated with striking color photographs and maps. The text and illustrations work well together to provide a brief but excellent introduction to the subject.
