A 1962 Book About Nature's Fury — Still Worth Reading in Context
Ann and Myron Sutton wrote this as a serious look at what happens when nature operates at its most extreme — floods, droughts, fires, storms — tracing each through legend, science, and literature, and ending with practical notes on survival. Published in 1962, before "climate change" was a mainstream phrase, it's a genuinely interesting document of how mid-century writers understood nature's power.
Reading it now, against current events, gives it another layer. This is a first edition in a dust jacket with slight wear — a solid copy for what it is.

Collector's Notes
Ann and Myron Sutton were a husband-and-wife writing team who produced natural history and conservation titles throughout the 1960s, including work for the National Geographic Society.
Nature on the Rampage was one of their earlier books — a first edition from 1962 has genuine interest for collectors of environmental history and mid-century science writing, particularly given how the book's topics resonate with present-day discussions about weather extremes.

Care and Handling:
Handle with clean, dry hands. Store upright, out of direct sunlight, at about 68°F and 40–50% relative humidity. Avoid damp areas and extreme temperature swings.

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.
-
Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
