Our Synthetic Environment

Murray Bookchin

1974 Revised Edition. Harper & Row, New York

Trade paperback with green decorated wraps in VERY GOOD condition protected in a clear plastic envelope. 305pp.   "To many, this may seem to be progress. To the ecologist, however, it represents an attempt to bring the laws of the biosphere into accordance with those of the market place to reduce the natural world to merchandise. Nutritious crops can no more be expected to grow according to commercial schedules than man can be expected to adjust his pulse to the rhythm of machines." A marvelous read… this book stands the test of time by its very mode of analysis, and its meticulous exposition of the myriad of negative effects our "synthetic" environment has on humans.  Notes.
