Hardcover. Etat : Near fine. Etat de la jaquette : Good. First edition. An association copy, inscribed extensively and colorfully, with a cartoon self-portrait, on the front free endpaper to Sir Crispin Tickell. It reads in main: "For you Sir Crispin, President of the Royal Geographical Society, with especial appreciation for your earliest warnings and deep concern and actions for our planetary security, additionally demonstrating the highest levels of leadership. Thank you, sir. George Meegan, Japan 1.6.1993." Uncommon signed, with no other copies currently available online. Tickell was a career diplomat devoted to environmental causes, serving variously as president, director, etc., of the Royal Geographical Society, the UK Marine Biological Association, the Green College (environmental college) at Oxford, and other institutes. He was influential in the climate movement and wrote one of the earliest books on climate change,Climatic Change and WorldAffairs(1977). Margaret Thatcher credited Tickell with convincing her to give a pivotal speech on climate change to the Royal Society in 1988, which brought the issue to the fore in Britain. He was an advisor to four Prime Minsters. Read more viahisGuardianobit. Meegan is also British, but this book is a memoir of his seven-year continuous walk, at times with his partner Yoshikio (they had two children along the way) from the tip of South America to the Arctic Ocean in Alaska (how about that, Cheryl Strayed). He went up the Eastern Seaboard of the US, and then swung all the way West across the continent to British Columbia and up from there. "Meegan persevered against dramatic and dangerous physical elements . . . [t]hrough it all, he shared enticing experiences with people along the way, without whom he could never have achieved so arduous a journey." Seethis recent articlefor more about his journey, which was (still is?) aGuinness BookWorld Record for the longest continuous walk. He was made a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society upon his return to England and has since written, lectured, and undertaken more walks. A near fine book with bumping to spine ends, otherwise about fine. In a good only jacket with two prominent tears at the top of the front panel. A very cool association and a flat-out amazing story and survey of the Americas. N° de réf. du vendeur 1152
