Originally published in 1975, yet prophetic in its wisdom this book
deals with major aspects of man’s ecological destruction in an
industrial framework. As well as discussing the destruction of
forests by early civilizations the book examines the rate and
extension of environmental deterioration in more recent times and
the importance of the integrated ‘feed-back’ controls which
maintain stability in the ecosphere of which humankind forms a
part. Examining the role of entropy, energy quanta and
indeterminacy in overthrowing both science and economic theory, the
book provides examples from the 20th Century of the uncontrolled
demands for energy and material resources, as well as of increasing
toxic hazard in the biosphere.
