Our Synthetic Environment

<p>2018 Reprint of 1962 Edition.  Full facsimile of the original edition not reproduced with Optical Recognition software.  Bookchin wrote <em>Our Synthetic Environment</em> under the pseudonym Lewis Herber.  This was one of the first books of the modern period in which an author espoused an ecological and environmentalist worldview.  It predates <em>Silent Spring</em> (1962) by Rachel Carson a more widely known book on the same topic widely credited as starting the environmental movement.  "At the time of its publication <em>Our Synthetic Environment</em> was the most comprehensive and enlightened book on the environmental crisis. Many other books on this topic have been published since but none I believe as comprehensive." --René Dubos</p>
