Description:
NY: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1953. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very good. Inscribed on the blank following the title page in a blue pen: "To Dr. Raymond Hockey [sp?], from Will Beebe, with warm regards." Uncommon signed. Beebe was a preeminent and fascinating naturalist-writer, known especially for the far-flung ocean expeditions he conducted for the New York Zoological Society and his pioneering descents in a submersible "bathosphere." In this book, as the jacket describes, "the famous naturalist returns to discover, among the familiar sights of the teeming metropolis, a world hidden from the eight million people who call it home." An early book of urban environmental writing. A fine book in a very good or better jacket with rubbing and touch of wear to spine ends..
