One small edge tear in rear DJ, pencil erasure on front endpaper. Based onthe RAND Corporation Research Study, Habitable Planets for Man, by Stephen H. Dole. In the course of millions of years the human species has adapted itself to the narrow ranges of temperature and air pressure, availability of food and water, and the physical components of our earthly environment. Now that the means are at hand the questions arise: where else in the universe can such physical conditions be found? This book attempts to determine whether there are other worlds where man can survive. Condition: good, good.
