Notes:  Reprint edition.  Originally published in 1971, by Little, Brown.  You’ve got to give props to the author for this: “Indeed, man might be defined as the only animal that needs to be insane in order to survive. (emphasis author’s)  When he becomes coldly practical, discards his beliefs and rites, begins measuring and counting things accurately, building efficient machinery, inventing weapons of mass destruction, sending men to the moon, and burning up more of the earth’s oxygen than its plant life can replace, he has also begun warming up the wax that will seal his own fate.”  Amen, brother, Amen.
