Shipley, Maynard

Verlag: Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1927

Beschreibung

Hardcover with dustjacket, "The author warns that if the Fundamentalists gain control of the state and national governments as they are trying to do, we shall be headed for a new Dark Age," these words, written in 1937, ring with truth in the 21st century, history has shown time and time again that all we need to do to lose our freedom is to abandon the honest search for truth that science seeks and put our trust in the hatred, intolerance and deceit that masquerades as a belief in a loving god among fanatical evangelicals of any faith, the book is in excellent condition, the colored top outer page-edge has several lightened areas to the surface and is the only remarkable book flaw, the binding is tight and clean and the contents are fine, the jacket has heavy wear caused by the voracious book-loving insect known as the siverfish, they are gone but the damage remains: edge and surface-wear is present and the spine is detached at the center, our professional (removable) mylar cover holds the jacket together and enhances its appearance.
