The Quiet Crisis. E-book. Formato PDF Stewart L. Udall   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The coincidence of these two events raised questions in my mind: Is a society a success if it creates conditions that impair its finest minds and make a wasteland of its finest landscapes? What does material abundance avail if we create an environment in which man's highest and most specifically human attributes cannot be fulfilled? Each generation has its own rendezvous with the land, for despite our fee titles and claims of ownership, we are all brief tenants on this planet. By choice, or by default, we will carve out a land legacy for our heirs. We can mis use the land and diminish the usefulness of resources, or we can create a world in which physical affluence and af?uence of the spirit go hand in hand.
