About This Item
London: Bloomsbury, 2003. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: "For Ford and Susan, with enormous affection (and remember--there are never enough corgis). Bill McKibben." A fun inscription. This is the simultaneous British edition, uncommon signed and with a slightly different subtitle. A book that considers the promises and especially perils of genetic engineering, and one that echoes what may be the central message in McKibben's work: We should find a way to be satisfied with the good that we already have rather than consume or meddle more. Blurbs by E.O. Wilson and Michael Pollan. A fine book in fine jacket.
Synopsis
"An Owl book." Includes bibliographical references (p. 229-251) and index.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
