Thorough discussion of ecology in France and similar nations,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Light-Green Society: Ecology and Technological Modernity in France, 1960-2000 (Paperback)
Prof. Bess demonstrates a friendly, vast and flawless knowledge of the French scene over the years, and gives a most stimulating discussion of how ecological thinking blended with every day life and with business, with some government influence. It thus moved away from somewhat revolutionary and anti-growth roots, towards a "light" or "soft" version in which people put some effort into a greener life but do not agree to give up much of their consumption, if any, and expect progress to continue in full. Observers understandably have very different feelings about this evolution, much like they do about left-right politics. This observation applies to most of Europe, and Western countries. I enjoyed every page, even though I had trouble understanding a few near the end, and have much admiration for this work, as I did for "Choices under Fire."
