Murray Bookchin (1921-2006) was one of the most significant and
influential environmental philosophers of the twentieth century.
The founder of the social ecology movement, Bookchin was presenting
and publishing foundational ideas about issues like air and water
pollution, nuclear radiation, and the dangers of fossil fuels. He
was a genuinely original and prescient thinker who was grappling
with problems that we still face today-and proposing solutions for
them-before most people realized those problems existed. In
addition to his work in ecology, Bookchin was also a noted leftist,
and he worked to create an authentic, indigenous American Left.
Ecology or Catastrophe: The Life of Murray Bookchin is the
first-ever biography of Murray Bookchin, written by his personal
collaborator and copyeditor, Janet Biehl. From 1987-2006, Biehl
edited every word that Bookchin wrote, and worked with him on
numerous articles and books. She tells the story of Bookchin's life
from a perspective that no one else could, providing a
comprehensive biography that examines this pioneer
environmentalist's life on both personal and professional levels.
She uses her access to Bookchin's papers as well as extensive
archival research, and draws upon nearly two decades' worth of a
personal relationship with Bookchin. The book discusses the variety
of philosophies and movements that Bookchin helped lead, including
social ecology, assembly democracy, and even, in certain instances,
anarchism. Ecology or Catastrophe is the definitive biography of
Murray Bookchin, written by the person who knew him best.
