Adbusters #108, VOL. NO. -The Epic Human Journey Part 2: Summer

various

The history of the West is one of creeping abstraction. Science from Nature. Human from Soul. Finance from Economy. Art from Mind. Us from each other. Follow along with us as we take you on a five-issue journey through the long march of humanity on its road to Now. Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? Can we find the wild human spirit that can kick in to avoid nightfall?
