Mark Rowlands

Recenzje

Rowlands raises troubling challenges that are unavoidable if civilization is to endure while preserving current levels of quality of life. Rejecting his conclusions out of hand because we find them unpalatable is unacceptable, especially for scholars. With writing accessible to non-specialists, the book is charming yet disconcerting, a powerful and provocative read.
