No dust jacket. From the author's foreword: "I have been studying the milk industry...and admit without the slightest embarrassment that many of its problems are still far from a solution. There is a wealth of technical information available concerning different details. There is also much controversy and misinformation concerning other details. This book is an attempt to present the picture of the industry so simply that any interested person may understand why it has problems and difficulties."

Cold War Ecology: Forests, Farms, and People in the East German Landscape, 1945-1989 Nelson, Arvid
New Haven, CT, USA Yale University Press 2005 0300106602 First Edition/First Printing Hard Copy Near Fine Very Good+
Yale University Press, New Haven, 2005. First edition/first printing. Book is in Near Fine condition. Dust jacket is in Very Good+ condition: slight rubbing on edge; no chips or tears; crisp. From the publisher: "East Germany, its economy, and its society were in decline long before the country’s political collapse in the late 1980s. The clues were there in the natural landscape, Arvid Nelson argues in this groundbreaking book, but policy analysts were blind to them. Had they noted the record of the leadership’s values and goals manifest in the landscape, they wouldn’t have hailed East Germany as a Marxist-Leninist success story. Nelson sets East German history within the context of the landscape history of two centuries to underscore how forest and ecosystem change offered a reliable barometer to the health and stability of the political system that governed them. 'Cold War Ecology' records how East German leaders’ indifference to human rights and their disregard for the landscape affected the rural economy, forests, and population. This lesson from history suggests new ways of thinking about the health of ecosystems and landscapes, Nelson shows, and he proposes assessing the stability of modern political systems based on the environment’s system qualities rather than on political leaders’ goals and beliefs."

From the rear cover: "From workers' housing to the grand homes of industrialists, prosperous Hartford experienced an explosion of Victorian building that turned this capital city into a rich mixture of culture, beauty, and business. The capital of the insurance industry, Hartford was also home to the first public art museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum; the first municipal rose garden, Elizabeth Park; and colossal factories that produced Colt firearms, typewriters, sewing machines, and even the first automobiles. 'Victorian Hartford' showcases the city's great architecture through historic images, some of which are the only evidence of the city's former grandeur, and provides glimpses into a world long gone. This collection of postcards and ephemera leads readers on a tour of Hartford's gilded Victorian age, demonstrating what made Hartford literally the richest city in the United States of America."
