The Way

A point-by-point summary of the philosophical and ideological values that underpin the ecology movement. The message from environmentalists and many scientists is now clear - our modern, technological way of life is destroying our planet and threatening the very existence of mankind's future. Goldsmith believes that only a clearly formulated ecological worldview is likely to give rise to a comprehensive strategy for assuring the earth's future. In "The Way", he puts forward the principles which he regards as fundamental to such a view and stresses the need for people to realize that they are an integral part of nature. This book offers both well argued theory and practical advice and spells out the philosophical, political, economic and scientific foundation for an ecological worldview.
