Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. First edition. An association copy, inscribed on the half title page:"To PatMoynihan, with warm regards, Dillon Ripley." Laid in also is Ripley's card. Moynihan was a four-term US Senator from NY from 1977 to 2001 who, among other many other activities and a…ccomplishments, served for a stint as the chairman of the Senate Environment Committee. Earlier, as a counselor to President Richard Nixon, he also wrote an incredibly on-the-mark memo to Congress in 1969 about the dangers of carbon dioxide to climate change--a very early public alarm that it seems is seldom recognized in the sweep of climate change advocacy. Sidney Dillon Ripley was an ornithologist, a wildlife conservationist, and for twenty years the Secretary of the Smithsonian, leading the charge to reinvigorate and expand the institution. He was an expert on rails (the waterfowl) and birds in Asia. He was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom. This title was his primary book for a lay (non-ornithological) audience, and it explores the value and changing emphases of museums from many angles. The first chapter is entitled "The Collecting Instinct," germane of course also to our various bibliophilic (and biophilic) pursuits. A very good or better book with some light soiling to black cloth boards. A "Surplus 1 --Library of Congress Duplicate" stamp is on the verso of the rear endpaper. A very good jacket with rubbing/discoloration to pale rear panel and short tears to top and bottom of back flap fold. A nice association. .
