Zusammenfassung:This withering indictment of the environmental establishment by an award-winning science writer and environmentalist charges that it ignores basic principles of science, economics, and human nature
While many environmentalists talk the language of science, Wallace Kaufman argues, they really adopt a view of nature and society that is deeply unscientific. Saving the world by recycling, reducing consumption, gardening organically, and living more simply is so much wishful thinking - and leaves our real environmental problems unsolved
No Turning Back is the story of how the environmental movement displaced a conservation movement's century of success with a crisis strategy to change not only government policy but also American culture. Kaufman finds the movement's conception in the revolt of European and English romantics against both the rational mind of science and the Industrial Revolution
