Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Our globalized, "virtual", and hyper-rationalized world is built on denial, the author claims--denial of the fundamental human connection to nature; a sense of place; and an understanding of the body. In this book, Spretnak explains why the fall of communism and the triumph of capitalism have not come close to establishing a new world order and how, until we face the failure of modernism, nothing will change.


Review:

The modern search for advancement has damaged society and disconnected us from nature: that's the underlying presumption behind much modern thought. Now consider Spretnak's title, which provides positive assertions of modern changes; from the progress and acceptance of alternative therapies to community efforts at an independence which reflects a love of place. Modern social issues and realities are lovingly presented and analyzed with an eye to facts.

Theodore Roszak

Review:

"What Spretnack advocates is a theoretically refined and spiritually enriched 1960s counterculture ideology that tried, and mostly failed, to create an America free of poverty, racism, gender oppression, elite power structures and ecological destruction."

Terry Tempest Williams
