Tight and attractive first edition, inscribed boldly on the front flyleaf by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author: "To / Mary Mack / With best wishes / Robert Cahn" -- and below this his wife adds "and / Pat Cahn." And below this is a nifty nonauthorial gift inscription by Newell B. Mack, an MIT researcher whose "somewhat far-out institutional solution" to an environmental issue is discussed in this book on pages 221-23. Mack presents this volume to his mother: "For Mom / Whose interest in the / past contributed to some / comments on the future (pp. 221 ff). / Newell / Dec. 25, 1978." Unusual copy.
