Seller's Description:
FINE IN FINE DUST JACKET. WINNER OF THE 1992 BANCROFT PRIZE, THE 1993 GEORGE PERKINS MARSH PRIZE, AND FINALIST FOR THE 1992 PULITZER PRIZE (HISTORY) BOOK IS FINE WITHOUT ANY MARKS TO THE BINDING OR THE TEXT. D.J. IS FINE AND IS NOT PRICE-CLIPPED. A BEAUTIFUL CLEAN, BRIGHT, UNFADED COPY WITH NO REMAINDER MARK. "Nature's Metropolis" is economics, history, life, business, and national destiny, so brilliantly mingled and united that it is hard t tell what is economics and what is life, where business stops and ecology or national destiny takes over. That is, of course, the way things are; but it takes a master historian-writer to create a tableau so vividly alive, so marvelously interesting" (Robert L. Heilbroner)
