DJ rubbed with 3 cm tear to top of front panel; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "Focusing on [ice ages of] the last million years, Woodbury traces the history of man's emergence against the background of the ice: the first tentative excursion of the ape into the life of an intelligent being, his use of crude tools and his arrival at the threshold of civilization. All along the line it is shown how the ice, first attacking, then retreating by irregular turns, played a major role in man's development, grooming him to survive because he was the first to have the intelligence to stand his ground and fight back." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. . Near Fine/VG. 21 X 14½ cm.

Términos de venta
Twin City Antiquarian Books
Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
