About This Item
NY: Harper & Row, 1984. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. Signed on the title page by Dyson. Uncommon signed. A book that "explores ways to live and survive in a nuclear age and examines the key areas of public morality, weapons technology, and international policy," it won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1984. Dyson was among our most influential and best-known scientists, his original genius in theoretical physics, but his polymathic attention ultimately in every intellectual direction. A very near fine book in burgundy cloth in a near fine jacket with one crease to the corner of the front flap and a few tiny nicks to the top edge..

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.
