Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. As recently as fifty years ago, the billowing industrial smokestack was a proud symbol of progress and power; today it is an image of unbridled corporate irresponsibility. This change in public attitudes reflects a shift in social values as rapid and profound as any in American history. Its effects are so far-reaching that scarcely anyone imagines there was ever an alternative view of the relationship between human beings and nature.

Cutting through the writings of the environmental movement's most prominent writers and thinkers, including Rachel Carson, Barry Commoner, Paul Elrich and E.F. Schumacher, Charles T. Rubin refutes their pretentions to scientific accuracy and reveals the radical foundations of . This item is printed on demand.
