Signals from the Heartland
NY, Walker and Company, (1993). Profiles of Midwesterners (in Illinois and Missouri) working to protect ecosystems threatened by suburban sprawl, intensive farming, shrinking wetlands, pollution, dams, etc. Inscribed by the author: "To John Bouseman, a dedicated conservationist and proud native of Illinois, with respect and gratitude, Tony." Fine in a fine dust jacket, with blurbs by Kurt Vonnegut and by William Allen, who reviewed the book for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A copy of Allen's review is included, with an autograph note signed from Fitzpatrick to Bouseman written on it, as Bouseman apparently knew the reviewer. The University of Illinois has a John K. Bouseman Natural History Survey Library Endowment Fund supporting the library's acquisitions in natural history. Uncommon signed, let alone with a good association like this. [#035871] SOLD
