About This Item
Claremont, CA:: Claremont College,, 1973.. Hardcover first edition -. Fine in very good dust jacket (toning to the spine and some light soiling to the white dj. First printing. A book which is perhaps more approriate than ever as we try to navigate the new work-from-home model. A title in the Annual lecture series of the Claremont Colleges with a foreword by Joseph B. Platt who comments that Spilhaus is an oceanographer and meteorologist who also has an "amused understanding of human pervisity." The first lecture is on Indolence and Pollution - but polution is interpreted very broadly as an excess of anything that reduces the quality of your life - including, for example, clutter. A hardcover advance copy sent to Friends of the Claremont Colleges with slip laid in. 65 pp
