Sobre este artículo
Oxford University Press, 1993. First edition. Hardcover. Association copy, inscribed on the title page in blue ink in the year of publication: "For James A. Harder, from Garrett Hardin, 11 June 1993." Uncommon signed. Harder was a Professor of Civil Engineering at UC Berkeley, his main research in fluid mechanics and hydraulics, including studies of fish protection facilities. He served as vice chairman of the Consulting Board for Fish Protection Facilities for the California Department of Fish and Game, California Department of Water Resources, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Insofar as he was interested in ecology and wildlife populations, perhaps this is one area in which he overlapped with Hardin, a populations ecologist at UC Santa Barbara renown for his often-anthologized Science essay "The Tragedy of the Commons" and for his sometimes controversial stances on overpopulation, as described in this, his best known book, Living Within Limits. A prominent blurb by Paul Ehrlich on the jacket: "Garrett Hardin has done it again! Fuzzy thinkers will hate this book." Hardin's one-time Santa Barbara address is written on a post-it affixed to the front free endpaper; Harder's business card is laid in, as is a receipt from Black Oak Books in Berkeley. A very good/near fine copy with a slight bow to front board; in a very good jacket with some dampstaining to spine (doesn't effect book), light curling to edges. A nice California science association..

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.
