Our Synthetic Environment

Więcej o książce

Originally published in 1962, Our Synthetic Environment is a pioneering work that exposes the negative effects that chemicals and other toxins in our environment have on human health. From the degradation of our food and soil due to industrial agricultural methods, to how pollution, radiation and other issues with the air we breathe and the way we live are the causes of illnesses like cancer, the book was visionary in its anticipation of many of the ecological problems our planet faces today. Written by one of the leading eco-thinkers of the twentieth century, Our Synthetic Environment is as vital a read today as it was sixty years ago. An essential companion to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, this new edition of Our Synthetic Environment features an introduction by environmentalist and best-selling author Bill McKibben.
