Von Händler/Antiquariat, The Book Collector.
309 pages with double page pictorial title, photographs, tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations and figures. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with brown gilt lettering to spine over brown pictorial boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The book is lavishly illustrated, with ink drawings of such things as the earth's crustal plates, the tracheal system of an insect, the cross section of a lichen, and the biosphere of the primal ocean; with black and white photos of sand dunes (both real and fossilized), Saharan animals (including one showing the author fishing in a desert pool!); and with breathtaking color photos of people and travel scenes in various deserts the author has visited. The photos each seem to express George's subtext of the unappreciated wonder of the desert. Like the text, the photos are often "poetic" in the best sense of the term: i.e., deceptively simple, so that a reader or viewer experiences several levels of perception at once. For example, here is a black and white photo caption: "Rock carving, about 8,000 years old, showing a herd of cattle drinking in the central Sahara." Slowly, a reader of this book begins to understand the history of deserts as dynamic land forms (nothing in deserts seems to be dead, for instance, except for many of our perceptions when considering them), how deserts come to exist, how they are linked to more fertile land, and where and how their lives are destined to lead human life on planet Earth. This story includes the earliest chemical, biologic, and climactic conditions on earth, and branches out with unique theories to consider the influence of such extraterrestrial bodies as our moon and the planet Mars. Condition: Page ends soiled, edges sunned, previous owner's name on front end paper. Jacket edge wear with tears else about very good in a very good jacket.
