This well-preserved copy of Barry Commoner’s seminal work, “Closing Circle: Nature, Man, and Technology,” offers a unique glimpse into the early days of the modern environmental movement. Published in 1971, just a year after the first Earth Day, Commoner’s book was a clarion call for a radical rethinking of humanity’s relationship with the natural world. Drawing on his expertise as a biologist and his deep concern for the planet, Commoner articulated four interconnected laws of ecology that challenged the prevailing notion of limitless growth and unfettered technological progress. His incisive analysis of the environmental crisis and its root causes, from pesticide pollution to nuclear fallout, sparked a national dialogue and inspired a generation of activists. This 1974 edition captures the urgency of Commoner’s message at a pivotal moment in the burgeoning environmental movement, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of environmentalism, science, and social change.
