Stress & Density Peter Beard Museums Betriebs Gesellschaft mbH, Wien and KunstHausWien, Vienna, 1999. First Edition. Quarto 9.75 x 6.75". Hardbound with one plate tipped into each the front and back covers, no dust jacket as issued. “In a world where a million people are being added every four days, 400 to 500 million people are already starving to death every year. That is sick. And we won't even talk about it. We are pushing wildlife out of its habitat. There is no more time to play, there is no more space to play. The game has come to an end, the wildlife is domesticated, out of and surrounded by national parks and it is doomed to human influence, human pressure, human manipulation, human horror. We're living in a disintegrating world, and people are not making the right calls about it. We're entering the age of density and stress from overcrowding and squeezing". --Peter Beard. Condition: Fine. 750
