Hardback. Condizione: Good. For 20 years Garrett Hardin has been our most hardnosed thinker about ecological problems.Filters Against Folly makes provocative reading. -- Michael Crichton The ecological problems facing our world present a forum for experts to offer slogans and solutions on all sides of the issue, but leave most of us confused and unsure of the future. In this bracing book, Garrett Hardin offers a plan for clear thinking about these dangers.

Caldwell, School of Public Environmental Affairs, Indiana University.…
