About This Item
Harper, 2010. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First printing, inscribed extensively, somewhat whimsically, on the front free endpaper: "Richard, On 22 April 2016, 175 world leaders signed the historic Paris Agreement at the UN Headquarters promising that their countries will each play their part in limiting global temp. rise to well below 2 degrees C so we can more confident we'll leave our children a planet worthy of their promise. Heidi Cullen." Cullen was the first climate expert for the The Weather Channel before she became the the chief climatologist for the nonprofit Climate Central. She is now the Director of Communications and Strategic Initiatives for the Monterey Bay Aquarium. She is a winner of the Audubon Society's Rachel Carson Award among other honors. Book is near fine on account of a former address sticker on front pastedown, now semi-blacked out; in a near fine jacket with light crimping to top and bottom of spine. Uncommon signed. We invite you to explore our growing, dedicated collection of signed and inscribed climate change books, including many association copies.

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.
