Wind, Water, and Air. An elementary science reader by the WPA Pennsylvania Writer’s project. Albert & Whitman Co, 1941. First Edition, First Printing. Illustrations by Carl Shaffer of the Pennsylvania Art Project, including two color plates and many vignette illustrations. Occasional spotting to text pages but generally clean. Some edges of the dust jacket are worn and chipped. Very good condition in a very good dust jacket.
A highly illustrated book that tells the story of erosion and changes to the Earth’s surface and the impact of these changes on people. This is the 21st booklet (of 30) in the Elementary Science Series, intended for young readers as a way to introduce them to various fields of science. The illustrations present are a mix of purely scientific as well portrayals of how forces of nature might appear to the imagination. Very scarce!
