Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First edition. Inscribed to no recipient in a green pen (a nice touch) on the front free endpaper: "Best wishes, Judd Alexander." Alexander is described as a "businessman-environmentalist," and here he takes a look at the problem of waste from the perspective of someone who has worked in the waste and recycling industries. The book starts with a historical view of garbage ("In the Beginning . . . There Was Garbage") and transitions to the dilemma of our contemporary "throwaway society." As the jacket says: "Alexander proposes that the problem does not necessarily lie with the quantity of our resources, population growth, affluence, or with space or pollution, but rather with politics, fear, and misinformation."A nice installment in any garbology or sustainability collection. A fine book in fine jacket .
