Evolving Complexity And Environmental Risk In The Prehistoric Southwest
First Edition
Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 1995. 284 pages. Proceedings of the workshop Resource Stress, Economic Uncertainty, and Human Response in the Southwest. February 25-29, 1992. 10 essays. ISBN: 9780201870404.
First edition (first printing, simultaneous issue in wrappers). A fine copy in wrappers (paperback). Inscribed by both editors to Stephen Jay Gould.
From the Harvard office library of the paleontologist and leading advocate for evolution, Stephen Jay Gould. With a tipped in bookplate indicating the provenance.
Intellectually, Gould understood the true nature of these bookplates, but the book collector in him appreciated them. In his essay "A Seahorse for All Races" Gould writes about one of his prized possessions, a book from Charles Dickens' library: "Dickens made no annotations, but a bookplate on the cover, presumably inserted as a come-on for a sale after Dickens' death in 1870, does prove that [he] kept and shelved the book."
We offer our Gould bookplates, printed letterpress in two colors, in the same spirit.
