Description:
New York:: Basic Books / Perseus,, (2014). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket (a new copy.). First printing. A provocative look at the forces that have enabled man to move from being just another mammal to the dominant force on earth by this MacArthur award winning environmental biologist. The change has been rapid - "In 1950, there were 2.5 billion of us, only 30 percent of which lived in cities. Today there are nearly 7 billion of us, and more than 50 percent of us live in cities. By 2050, there will be 9 billion humans, with 70 percent of us in cities... Yet humanity's footprint on the planet has expanded exponentially in the last century. Each manipulation of nature increased the amount of food our species could produce. The result is the Big Ratchet of the twentieth century, and today's explosion of mouths to feed, meat-laden diets, overcrowded cities, and the irony of overweight populations with too much food in some countries, while others starve."…

Seattle:: Mountaineers Books, , (1996). First edition -. Fine in illustrated wrappers.. First printing, a trade paperback original. A collection of essays on the environmental past and future of the Western United States. Like Abbey and Wallace Stegner and other both established and younger writers, Frome refused to quit pointing fingers and naming names until he felt that important environmental concerns were no longer being sloughed off as second-rate issues. This collection offers environmental criticism at its best. These essays, spanning 30 years, are as relevant today as when they were first published. Included are essays on clearcutting, on destruction in the Bitterroots, on loving our National Parks to death, and "Who's Managing the Managers While They Manage the Wolves?" and much more. Reading list, index. 239 pp.
