About This Item
Umberto Allemandi, 1996. Hardcover in dustwrapper 131 pages, 8.5 x 12.25 inches. this from teh dustwrapper: "Since the beginning of time, men have gazed at the heavens and wondered at the Prime Cause of the unleashed energy that with fiery flashes ignites woods and trees. It is easy to imagine the pride that filled the earliest human being after they had overcome their fear and succeeded in taming the flame they took from these fires in the wild; with what care they nurtured and fed it. From then onwards, those capable of creating fire knew they possessed a very precious tool. The conquest of energy by easily combustible wood, then flint stones, pyrites and fire steels, was the first great victory over the natural world". Unused copy still in shrinkwrap. Fine book in a fine dustwrapper. F/F. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine.
