Dear Pen,
Letting you all know that the Fall 1996 issue of Science &
Society is now out. It is a Special Issue on "Marxism and Ecology,"
guest edited by David Schwartzman, Biology, Howard University.
Contents:
Editor's Introduction
Derek Lovejoy: Limits to Growth?
Douglas H. Boucher: Not with a Bang but a Whimper
John Vandermeer: Tragedy of the Commons: The Meaning of the
Metaphor
David Schwartzman: Solar Communism
Paul Burkett: Value, Capital and Nature: Some Ecological
Implications of Marx's Critique of Political Economy
P. T. Saroja Sundararajan: From Marxian Ecology to Ecological
Marxism
The issue covers a striking range of topics, from population and
energy studies to entropy, human-nature contradictions inherent
in the value form, to Helmholtz' parable on two-dimensional beings.
Much food for thought.
