This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
George Allan England (1877–1937) was an American writer who, after obtaining an M.A. degree from Harvard University, became an explorer and socialist politician. He ran—unsuccessfully—for Governor of Maine, and wrote more than fourteen novels, most with socialist themes.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Fine original cloth, no DW as issued. Offset from the 1915 edition. Billionaire capitalist, Isaac Flint, discovers a process that extracts oxygen from the air, thus creating a monopoly - the entire world must buy his air if people are to breathe at a level beyond utter misery. The scientific explanation is well worked out; the great plant with its equipment and huge storage containers is nearing completion near Niagara Falls when Flint's opponents stage a massive and dramatic counter-attack. T he advantage veers from side to side and the issue is kept in doubt until the final confrontation. The book's strong socialist slant made it too controversial for magazine publication, and was eventually published in one edition by Phil Wagner in 19 15. N° de réf. du vendeur 8957
