London, Faber and Faber, (1941). Second printing. First published in 1939, this is a comprehensive global study of the causes and consequences of soil erosion, with attention paid to the acceleration of harm due to human mismanagement -- a theme that continues to play out on land, air, and sea. Light foxing to edge and endpages; near fine in a near fine, spine-tanned dust jacket. The book was reprinted after the end of the Second World War; it's a safe bet that copies from before or during the war did not survive in any great numbers; no copies are listed online at the time of this writing.
