Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First edition. Inscribed to no recipient in a green pen (a nice touch) on the front free endpaper: "Best wishes, Judd Alexander." Alexander is described as a "businessman-environmentalist," and here he takes a look at the problem of waste from the perspective of someon…e who has worked in the waste and recycling industries. The book starts with a historical view of garbage ("In the Beginning . . . There Was Garbage") and transitions to the dilemma of our contemporary "throwaway society." As the jacket says: "Alexander proposes that the problem does not necessarily lie with the quantity of our resources, population growth, affluence, or with space or pollution, but rather with politics, fear, and misinformation."A nice installment in any garbology or sustainability collection. A fine book in fine jacket .

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This other side of the story is the first to show how waste products contribute positively to the economy, and to place garbage in perspective when considering the total use of America's resources. Alexander comes to this subject with 40 years of experience in making and recycling disposabl…e products and in studying litter and municipal waste issues. He sees the garbage crisis as a political, not a physical, problem and introduces a non-cash national solution. He deals with popular misconceptions about the quantity and growth of garbage, resource consumption, forest productivity, packaging, disposal taxes, landfills, incineration and recycling. Written for open-minded lay readers, policymakers, professionals, and serious-minded students, this is an important contribution to the study of our current environmental situation.Alexander proposes that the problem does not necessarily lie with the quantity of our resources, population growth, affluence, or with space or pollution, but rather with politics, fear, and misinformation. Alexander offers a survey of the history of garbage, considers the quantity and contents of the waste, and provides us with ways to save our nonrenewable resources. Especially compelling is the discussion of the characteristics and products of our throwaway society. Also covered is the role of packaging, measures for source reduction, the promise and problems of recycling different types of material, biodegradation, compost and litter, and the collection and disposal of municipal solid waste. In Defense of Garbage is about the politics of garbage. Reading this eye-opening book is a sure way to become part of the solution to one of the most hotly-debated problems in the world today. This other side of the story is the first to show how waste products contribute positively to the economy, and to place garbage in perspective when considering the total use of America's resources. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
