The Transformations Of Man.

Collier Books, New York: 1962. Softcover. Fair condition. Underlining on some pages. In what may be the most provocative and stimulating of his many books Lewis Mumford writes, The moment for another great historic transformation of man has come. He foresees a mew life as radically different from the life we now know as a marble temple from a clay hut. Yet man's very humanity, he warns, is now threatened by abarbarism more elemental than has ever been encountered. Therefore, he examines past transformations man has gone through to uncover the spiritual, personal and technological resources we possess to overcome this threat. A thought-provoking work. Highly recommended. - Library Journal
