Also, thanks to my buddy Doug for passing along this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.h-net.org\/reviews\/showrev.cgi?path=208301124312653\">H-Net review<\/a> of Paul R. Josephson&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powells.com\/cgi-bin\/partner?partner_id=29592&amp;cgi=product&amp;isbn=1559637773\"><em>Industrialized Nature: Brute Force Technology and the Transformation of the Natural World<\/em>.<\/a> Warning: very academic in style. Still, the book sounds interesting in its analysis of how human notions of progress (or, at least, Western notions of progress) are at the root of environmental degradation. It&#8217;s always helpful to remember that we&#8217;re up against something more than just simple greed: the very concept of &#8220;moving forward&#8221; in the Euro-American mindset almost inevitably means conquering nature.<\/p>\n<p>Technorati tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/blogging\" rel=\"tag\">blogging<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/book+review\" rel=\"tag\">book review<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/progress\" rel=\"tag\">progress<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/environment\" rel=\"tag\">environment<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m having to slow down with the blogging a bit with the new semester starting tomorrow, and foresee a very slow week.
