THE PLANETARY CANCER EMPIRE: Society’s Organization in the Age of Ecocide (The Planet’s Cancer, Band 3) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Humans reproduce on Earth in an uncontrolled, uncoordinated way, like cancer cells in the body of a patient. To meet the needs of a population that has doubled within a few decades, society has had to build rigid, complex organizations, step up scientific research, and apply the most innovative technological advances to food and energy. It has had to erect the “Planet’s Cancer Empire.”
The central part of the book delves into these themes in depth.
The opening chapters outline the idea of the global village and examine the inevitability of the path we have taken.
The final part looks to the future, to when Nature will present the bill for the feast held at her expense, and to the great new cultural revolution we should promote to contain the damage done so far.
A substantial appendix is devoted to the forerunners of “Cancerism.”
