197914089kmsNew York: St. Martin’s Press 1979. First Edition Review Copy. Quarto blue leatherette hardcover gilt letters vii 152 pp. Good with soiling to page edges neat former-owner stamps former-owners published review pasted to rear endpaper in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From jacket: Over a quarter of the world’s surface is arid or semi-arid and there are fears that this total may increase sharply as the result of climatic change and growing pressures from an expanding and hungry world population. Urgent needs have led man himself to contribute alarmingly to the continuous depletion of the stock of usable lands through unconsidered exploitation: fertile areas are degrading rapidly and marginal ones are turning into deserts. This timely book shows how the threats to such fragile territories can be arrested controlled and reversed through the careful management of dry-land ecosystems. It examines the characteristics of arid and semi-arid environments throughout the world and describes the kinds of vegetation they are able to support. Drawing thier lessons from nature the authors show how indiginous vegetation can be used to create developments which are self-sustaining in the long run based on an apporach that works with nature rather than against it. They set out in great detail the techniques that are involved from the preliminary survey of climate topography soils and water through the analysis of the existing ecosystem to the planning of developments with plants and regimes of irrigation plant propagation and management of soil water vegeation and human settlements.

61031bdHutchinson of London 1959. Octavo black cloth hardcover gilt letters xxii 224 pp. Very Good with edgewear; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket. From duat jacket: Japan’s aerial suicide offensive unique in the annals of warfare was launched in desperation. For the first time men were asked to go into battle with death as an objective without even that comfort they have always had in any battle no matter how bloody that vestigal hope “It won’t be me -- I’ll be all right.†That the pilots of this failing Empire responded with patriotic devotion is attested by the thousands of names inscribed at the Yasukuni Shrine. What sort of men were they who could with equanimity face the awful finality of an order prescribing voluntary death on a specific day What manner of life prepared them for such a death The tactical or strategic results of the Kamikaze concept are of little importance when weighed against the moral implications of suicide under orders; and the question must be -- even in time of national crisis are such demands defensible The authors present the facts and so far as possible the convictions which lay behind them. For the rest you must draw your own conclusions. hardcover books
