John Bellamy Foster's new book, The Return of Nature: Socialism and Ecology, has just been published by Monthly Review. The product of 20 years of research, it is truly a major and monumental work. With chapters on William Morris, Christopher Caudwell, Frederick Engels, and every major British, Soviet, and US radical ecological scientist, it traces the development of ecology since the death of Marx. Foster shows, among many other things, that Engels was extraordinarily prescient in terms of the environment, demonstrating that Engels was not just Marx's collaborator and patron but an important and original thinker is his own right. All in all, this is an impressive book. I learned much I didn't know in every chapter. This book is well-worth reading and studying. https://mailchi.mp/monthlyreview/new-the-return-of-nature-socialism-and-ecology?e=7c9269ff30 _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
