Hardcover. First edition. Association copy, inscribed on the title page in blue ink in the year of publication: "For James A. Harder, from Garrett Hardin, 11 June 1993." Uncommon signed. Harder was a Professor of Civil Engineering at UC Berkeley, his main research in fluid mechanics and hydraulics, including studies of fish protection facilities. He served as vice chairman of the Consulting Board for Fish Protection Facilities for the California Department of Fish and Game, California Department of Water Resources, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Insofar as he wasinterested in ecology and wildlife populations, perhaps this is one area in which he overlapped with Hardin, a populations ecologist at UC Santa Barbararenown for his often-anthologizedScienceessay "The Tragedy of the Commons" and for his sometimes controversial stances on overpopulation, as described in this, his best known book,Living Within Limits. A prominent blurb by Paul Ehrlich on the jacket: "Garrett Hardin has done it again! Fuzzy thinkers will hate this book."Hardin's one-time Santa Barbara address is writtenon a post-it affixed to the front free endpaper; Harder'sbusiness card is laid in, as is a receipt from Black Oak Books in Berkeley. A very good/near fine copy with a slight bow to front board; in a very good jacket with somedampstaining to spine (doesn't effect book), light curling to edges. A nice California science association.
