by Dr. Marius de Geus
On This Page
Description
"This provocative and readable study examines the norms, values and beliefs that contribute to modern environmental problems. Criticizing the environmental abuses inherent in the acquisitive values of consumer society, the argument presented contends that individuals must simplify their lifestyles and exhibit moderation and self-restraint to avoid waste and maintain the earth's resources. In this vision, governments must translate moderation and limitation into effective policy measures and show more adapt economic, social, and political institutions accordingly."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
