New York: Avalon Books, 1958 . Octavo, cloth. First edition. The Edenic planet of Pao has been occupied virtually without resistance by the invaders from the harsh planet of Breakness. The story of the rise of the formerly passive peoples of Pao to regain their freedom is an example of the biosociological and linguistic theories that environment and language shape the talents and perceptions sentient beings may possess.
