between left and right; a rejection of the rationalist scientific project
and a reliance on the lessons of the science of ecology.

Books about Ecoanarchism
- Post-Scarcity Anarchism, by Murray Bookchin, AK Press, 2004, Paperback,
$18.95
- Murray Bookchin has been an active voice in the ecology and anarchist
movements for more than 40 years. In this series of essays, Murray Bookchin
balances his ecological and anarchist vision with the promising opportunities
of a "post-scarcity" era. Technological advances during the 20th century
have expanded production in the pursuit of corporate profit at the expense
of human need and ecological sustainability. New possibilities for human
freedom must combine an ecological outlook with the dissolution of hierarchical
social relations, capitalism and canonical political orientation. Bookchin's
utopian vision, rooted in the realities of contemporary society, remains
refreshingly pragmatic. "Bookchin makes a trenchant analysis of modern
society and offers a pointed, provocative discussion of the ecological
crisis."—Library Journal
