The Resurgence of the Real

"Charlene Spretnak's The Resurgence of the Real is a remarkable intellectual tour de force, a mordant yet deeply humane critique of where we went wrong in the modern world -- and the way forward to a wholesome post-industrial future."

"I turn to Charlene Spretnak for wisdom and perspective. She inspires social change from the roots of our humanity, one that calls for compassionate intelligence over superficial reactions. The Resurgence of the Real reminds us we cannot survive the seduction of modernity. Our path is through the body, through deep engagement with where we live and whom we live among. This book is a lighthouse."

"With this book, Charlene Spretnak takes her place among the great visionary thinkers of our time.... 'Ecological postmoderism' is a pathway toward human sanity and fulfillment via the acceptance and embrace of ecological imperatives. Whether you are an activist, a public policy leader, an academic, or are simply interested in breakthrough thinking, this book is a must."

"The Resurgence of the Real is nothing less than a spiritual guidebook for life in the next millennium, rediscovering what is essential for human fulfillment, while deftly warning us about what is catastrophic. This is a passionate, learned, ennobling, and best of all, a persuasive approach to the future that is neither technophilic nor technophobic."

"For its comprehensive perspective, clarity of presentation, critical insight, and contemporary relevance, Charlene Spretnak deserves serious attention from all who are concerned with getting out of the commercial illusions of the 20th century.... This is a superb book!"
