The Cultural Roots of the Current Environmental Crisis
Traces the development of cultural attitudes toward the environment and technology over the span of human civilization. This work explores the effects influential thinkers and movements have had on environmental attitudes.
A valuable and documented source. --Choice Ferkiss has navigated an exceedingly complex course through our philosophical history, tracing the lineage of ideas about nature and technology as they evolved from ancient times through Taoism, industrialism, Marxism, and several other 'isms.'
