Review of 'Marx and Nature: A Red and Green Perspective' - Paresh Chattopadhyay
Paresh Chattopadhyay's review of Paul Burkett's book. 'Marx and Nature'.
This is an important book. Its great merit lies in a clear presentation of Marx's position on nature in its relation to human beings as well as a convincing defense of Marx against his ecological critics. The book has 14 chapters spread over three parts: nature and historical materialism; nature and capitalism; and nature and communism.

Workers Against Work - Review
Undercurrent's review of Michael Seidman's 'Workers against work: labor in Paris and Barcelona during the Popular Fronts'.
This 400 page book is also available in a much shortened pamphlet version, which is probably easier to get hold of, and despite sounding dull as shit it's actually really interesting. It deals with the situations in France and Spain during their Popular Front governments of the 1930's, focusing on developments in Paris and Barcelona, drawing out the differences and similarities between the two.
