Zustand: FINE. First printing. A book which "exposes the vulnerability of this stark land that spreads along the Gulf Coast, as it literally vanishes -- at rate of twenty-five square miles per year, an area the size of Manhattan -- so starved for lack of nutrients, so eroded away by ever more severe storms, and so dredged for canals that it is on the verge of being swallowed by the rising Gulf of Mexico."

Photographs, selected sources, index. xvii, 265 pp. Very near fine in a like dustjacket.…
