DARK AGE AHEAD(I***N=9781400076703) 阿里云 lit azw3 txt pdf caj 下载 在线

　　In this indispensable book, urban visionary Jane

Jacobs--renowned author of The Death and Life of Great American

Cities and The Economy of Cities--convincingly argues that as

agrarianism gives way to a technology-based future, we stand on the

brink of a new dark age, a period of cultural collapse. Jacobs

pinpoints five pillars of our culture that are in serious decay:

community and family; higher education; the effective practice of

science; taxation, and government; and the self-regulation of the

learned professi***. The corrosion of these pillars, Jacobs argues,

is linked to societal ills such as environmental crisis, racism,

and the growing gulf between rich and poor. But this is a hopeful

book as well as a warning. Drawing on her vast frame of

reference–from fifteenth-century Chinese shipbuilding to Ireland’s

cultural rebirth–Jacobs suggests how the cycles of decay can be

arrested and ou***ay of life renewed. Invigorating and accessible,

Dark Age Ahead is not only the crowning achievement of Jane Jacobs’

career, but one of the most important works of our time.
