Key climate change novel. A truly excellent first hardback edition of this key climate change novel, as with his 1966 novel The Crystal World anticipating the more universal adoption of climate change science by many years. The novel also imagines mankind's innate primitive tendencies when exposed to an environment more akin to the Triassic period. This edition is preceded by a US paperback edition, but this Gollancz edition is the preferred, collector's edition.

First UK edition, first hardback edition, first impression; 8vo; unmarked internally; publisher's red boards, gilt lettering to spine, with the unclipped dust-jacket, ownership inscription to front flap, small nicks to corners and spine ends, else very good.
