| Abstract
|
:
|
"On Garbage shows that disposal causes more than the mountains of rubbish we sometimes fear will overwhelm us; it also creates a host of other 'garbage', particularly in the all-too-often abject reality of our disposable lives. It seems, indeed, that we ourselves have become the garbage of our times." "This book will interest readers in areas as diverse as cultural studies and social theory, the histories of philosophy, public health and the environment, and the aesthetics of contemporary art."--Jacket.
