About This Item
Self-published, 2005. 1st Edition . Hardcover. As New/Fine. 264 pages, with bibliography, illustrated throughout with color cuts (photographs and diagrams). "An earthshaking revelation of what is happening to our planet", by Prof. Lance Endersbee, who was Dean of Engineering and Pro-Vice Chancellor, emeritus, of Monash University, past president of the Institution of Engineers Australia. From the back panel: "This impressive, quietly argued book warns that the deep groundwater, on which three billion people . . . depend for most of their drinking water and food, is running out at an unprecedented rate. It throws new light on many popular and scientific beliefs about the origins and extent of the world's water, natural gas and petroleum deposits, the mechanics of deep earthquakes, the continuing but still not understood expansion of the earth, and the causes of climate change." Royal 8vo (7-1/4" x 10-1/4"), blue cloth with gilt lettering, printed on glossy stock, corners sharp, no visible wear, in crisp, clean DJ.
