| Synopsis: |
This third volume (including the years 1930-1935) of a projected six reinforces Huxley's stature as one of the most acute and informed observers of the social and ideological trends of the years between the world wars. These essays register his growing ambivalence about the role of technocracy and science in an era of experimentation in the concentration of executive and legislative power. "He was among the few writers who...played with ideas so freely, so gaily, with such virtuosity, that the responsive reader...was dazzled and excited."-Isaiah Berlin. "Commendable."-Times Literary Supplement. "A remarkable publishing event...beautifully produced and authoritatively edited."-Jeffrey Hart, Washington Times. Edited with Commentary by Robert S. Baker and James Sexton. |
