Description: This is an overall Very Good++ Condition 1970 1st Edition/1st Printing "Freezing Point - Cold As a Matter of Life and Death" by Lucy Kavaler. Interestingly, I appear to be the only bookseller in the World who is able to take photos of the actual book without having a reflected picture of the room or the photographer shown on the unusual metallic reflective dust jacket.One reader review: "Cryobiology is the subject of this clearly written book by Lucy Kavaler; even those who fancy that they dislike biology or science in general will find this book fascinating. Kavaler writes about heart transplants and people addicted to eating ice cubes; people buried in snow who survived that experience and the longer average life span of those who in live in cold climates; arctic exploration and Australian aborigines; experiments on the relative tolerance of people to cold and hot; and a great deal more, in a nice, fat volume that reads as fast as a billboard (well, almost). "_________________________________FREE Domestic Insured Economy Shipping. Shipping weight about 2 pounds 15 ounces. International shipping ok.I will combine shipping on all my items. If you have a question about shipping costs for a specific mix of items, please don't hesitate to email me for a shipping cost quote. If you choose to then buy the items, please wait until I send you an invoice before paying for the items for your combined shipping quote or you might send excess shipping payments that ebay will charge a non-refundable fee for. International shipping ok. The ebay and USPS delivery estimates are wildly optimistic. My experience is that international shipping will take 10 - 21+ days until delivery. Only Express Mail has a chance to meet the delivery estimate. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPERS NOTE: I cannot determine or pay any duties or know about quarantine your country may impose on any of my items. Please check with your local post office BEFORE buying or bidding so you don't get any unwelcome surprises.. Please select your shipping option when buying. INSURANCE NOTE: I try to insure every shipment of $20.00 or more by ebay's insurance. Unfortunately, 2012 postal regulations forbid insurance on certain types of postal shipping services to various countries. Also, unfortunately, I now usually only find out whether an item can be insured when I go to make out the shipping label. If insurance is incredibly important to you, email me before bidding and I will try to see if the least expensive shipping service can be insured. An example of the international differences is that at this time, Canada apparently forbids insurance on all postal service levels except Express Mail Parcels. In contrast, I have been able to insure First Class Parcels to both Argentina and Switzerland. I do not personally insure anything. UNINSURED SHIPMENTS ARE SENT AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you look at my ratings, you will note that only 2% of the sellers on ebay have my dual distinction. I have earned these ratings by being an honest, accurate and fast shipping seller. If you have ANY question or concern, please contact me through ebay messages and NOT through the paypal email address, as I only check that address monthly. I will answer most ebay messages in less than 1 day, and all in 2 days. Returns accepted. I always have confirmation that I have shipped. Local pickup ok for all my items. Contact me for payment upon pickup details. Alternate payment methods ok if no paypal account as indicated below.
