Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1953. The December, 1953 issue of Fate Magazine (issue no.45) in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 130 pp. A Near Fine copy - very near fine - with almost nothing to point to; micro-touching at spine and a touch of fade at left side of front cover (scan).

"The idea for this book arose from an attempt to comprehend the evolution and maintenance of long-term monogamy in geese and swans, species in which mates maintain contact all day, each season, often for life. Somehow these pair members stay together in large foraging flocks and during gruelling migrations.
