John Foster

After Sustainability (eBook, PDF)

Denial, Hope, Retrieval

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Many practising environmentalists already suspect that it is now too late for sustainability. This book makes clear why that is true, but rather than despairing, it explores where coming out of denial could take us. It shows where the deep environmental crisis really lies, in the way we think about ourselves and our lives as much as in our material arrangements. This in turn suggests what we might be able to retrieve from breakdown.
