Sobre este artículo
Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1980. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Association copy, inscribed on the red front free endpaper: "For Bill Murdoch, with all best wishes from -- Garrett Hardin, May 1982." Uncommon signed, and a significant association in the field, inscribed to his colleague and fellow professor of population ecology at UC Santa Barbara William W. Murdoch, recipient of a Guggenheim and the Robert H. MacArthur Award from the Ecological Society of America. His best known book is The Poverty of Nations: The Political Economy of Hunger and Population. Hardin, meanwhile, is renown for his often-anthologized Science essay "The Tragedy of the Commons" and for his sometimes controversial stances on overpopulation, as described for instance in Living Within Limits: Ecology, Economics, and Population Taboos, his best-known book. This slim volume was written in the lead up to Living With Limits as part of the Danz Lecture Series at the University of Washington. As the jacket describes it, "With wit and erudition, Garrett Hardin addresses some of the difficult ethical questions posed by a world of increasingly scarce resources." A very good copy in blue cloth with a light speckling of foxing to top text block face; would be near fine but for underlining and starring to the last two chapters, "Death" and "Triage," but these are of interest for being in Murdoch's hand. In a very good dust jacket with edge wear and wear to corners, head and tail of spine.

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.
