I liked it better than Half Asleep, but not as good as his other books.

I prefer his other books.

One of my favorite Robbins books.

Another great book by Robbins.

One of Vonnegut’s darker books, and that’s saying something.

A great collection of shorts by one of my favorite authors.

Curious about the basics of causality, determinism, the compatability of determinism and free will – and responsibility? Read this!

Hardly worth the time it took to read. Didn’t like the plot or the style, though the setting was promising.

Alas, even though he initially brings up the phenomenon of recycling as religion he never takes it into account later on as he describes why we recycle. Instead he insists that recycling happens because it saves money, or because we’ll eventually need to (belittling the unmistakable trend of cheaper natural resources which mean more supply, not less).

The book does present a compelling argument for waste reduction and a good introduction to various incentive and manadated recycling programs.

My impressions is that we’d be better off concentrating on providing means to reuse hazardous waste (according to Ackerman, these include products with lead or PVC) than wasting resources recycling glass or paper.

I am glad the author is honest about his bias. I do enjoy the treatment early on of recycling as religion early on, though I honestly had hoped for more (that shows my bias, I guess).
