To avoid the common fate of all past civilizations will...

Plato's Revenge: Politics in the Age of Ecology
ISBN: 9780262525282 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this provocative call for a new ecological politics, William Ophuls starts from a radical premise: "sustainability" is impossible.

In *The Politics*, he tried to discover which constitutions were more conducive...
