The Devil's Element: Phosphorous and a World Out of Balance (inscribed advanced reading copy)
NY: Norton, 2023. First edition. Hardcover. A softcover advanced review copy (ARC), inscribed on the title page: "Anne, you put on a marvelous show! Dan." Uncommon signed, especially as a proof, which in general are increasingly uncommon in this digital age. Likely signed to a radio or TV show host or producer as, or just before, the book launched. "In this major work of explanatory science and environmental journalism, Pulitzer Prize finalist Dan Egan investigates the past, present, and future of what has been called 'the oil of our time.'" Phosphorous is a primary component of fertilizer and a major pollution issue. With a printed letter from editor Matt Weiland. A follow-up to his much-lauded book The Death and Life of the Great Lakes. Egan has twice been a finalist for the Pulitizer and is the winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. A very good copy with edge wear and a small dogear to the lower rear corner. Very good. Item #1757
