Abstract
This book reconstructs Marx’s approach to nature, society, and environmental crisis. The focus on environmental issues needs little justification. There may still be disagreement about the threat to human survival posed by society’s environmental impacts, but no one can doubt that individual ecosystems and the global biosphere are both increasingly shaped by human production and consumption (Vitousek, et al., 1997).
