About This Item
London: Thames and Hudson, 1969. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Former Owner Stamp & Signature. Second Impression.. A fascinating look at future technology and advances in medicine and the sciences, especially pertaining to biological changes and possibilities thanks to genetics, computers, etc., penned in the late 1960s but very prescient as to developments since then - as well as still probably very accurately predictive of events yet to come. Hardcover with price-clipped dust jacket, indexed, 240pp. A very nice copy, the jacket neatly encased in an acid-free Brodart plastic protector. Rare in this edition and condition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
