Polyurethane New Paths to Progress, Marketing, Technology Proceedings of the Spi 6th Intern... Book

I'd give this book a 5 but it is a tough read. Deeply philosophical, politico-ecological, post-marxist, exergy-based critique of capitalism and its effect on the environment. Got that? Mixes political ecological theory, entropic theory (essergy/exergy/emergy type stuff), ecological theory and global development stuff. Fascinating, brialliant and hard work. The bottom line? Material, exhange (supply-demand) and labor theories of value support capitalism's rape of the earth and the natural support systems that make out lives good. The only way to escape this cycle is to value the amount of energy put into a product, and/or the amount of useable energy still available in the product. Yee-haw!
