Octavo, paperback,464 pp.,text illustrations. In humanity's more than 100,000 year history, we have evolved from vulnerable creatures clawing sustenance from Earth to a sophisticated global society manipulating every inch of it. In short, we have become the dominant animal. Why, then, are we creating a world that threatens our own species? What can we do to change the current trajectory toward more climate change, increased famine, and epidemic disease? Renowned scientists Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich believe that intelligently addressing those questions depends on a clear understanding of how we evolved and how and why were changing the planet in ways that darken our descendants' future. This book arms readers with that knowledge, tracing the interplay between environmental change and genetic and cultural evolution since the dawn of humanity. In lucid and engaging prose, they describe how Homo sapiens adapted to their surroundings, eventually developing the vibrant cultures, vast scientific knowledge, and technological wizardry we know today.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First edition. Inscribed on the title page: "For Jen, with thanks for a wonderful [illegible] on the international system. Paul." Uncommon signed, with no other copies available online as of this writing. Difficult to make out the middle of the inscription, but likely better or more familiar eyes can do so. Paul Ehrlich is best known for his deeply influential and controversial bookThe Population Bomb(1968)about overpopulation and resource scarcity, a topic which has defined his career and perhaps overshadowed his distinguished achievements in ecology and conservation biology (including classic butterfly studies). The book was called alarmist by some, but Ehrlich years later said that"perhaps the most serious flaw inThe Bombwas that it was much too optimistic about the future." His wife Anne Ehrlich has been his steady collaborator and co-author, for which she probably has been under-recognized. In this ambitious and interdisciplinary book, "the Ehrlichs gracefully weaves together rite theories of Darwin, empirical studies of fruit flies, lizards, and disease, the fossil record, the psychology of perception and belief systems, the nature of the human genome, and the power of culture and environment into a single illuminating thread."A fine book in fine jacket.…
