Book Reviews of The Myth of Progress: Toward a Sustainable Future

Book Review: A recipe for saving the planet and ourselves
Summary: 5 Stars

This will no doubt be one of those rare books I read over and over again. If you believe that profligacy holds empty promises; that we are spiralling on a downward course of natural resource depletion and want to go out into the world armed with a message of hope inspired by nature and supported by scientific principle then this is the book for you.
