 The
Third Revolution : Popular Movements in the Revolutionary Era
by Murray
Bookchin
This project is a comprehensive account of the great
revolutions that swept over Europe and America during the past three
centuries. Murray Bookchin, a life-long student of revolutions, begins
in Volume 1 with the peasant wars that preceded the modern era, then
gives vivid accounts of the English Revolutions of the mid-seventeenth
century. Throughout, the emphasis is on the popular movements that
propelled the great revolutions the great revolutions to radical peaks,
the little-known leaders who spoke for the people, and the liberatory
social forms to which the revolutions gave rise. In the vast scope of
this work, Murray Bookchin combines the social background and key events
of the great revolutions. This work is more than an account of the past,
the democratic forms of social organization it describes make it
unusually relevant for the searing problems of public empowerment and
freedom today. Volume 2 which will cover the 19th and 20th centuries, is
scheduled for publication in Fall 1997. MURRAY BOOKCHIN was a radical
activist in the American labor movement of the 1930s and has been a
social theorist on the left throughout his life. A very early voice on
environmental issues, he is the author of over 20 books including
Re-enchanting Humanity. He has worked in foundries and taught in
universities. He is Professor Emeritus of the Institute of Social
Ecology in Vermont. 'A major American political philosopher' - San
Francisco Chronicle.

University of California, Irvine. Social Ecology is an
interdisciplinary field that examines the relationships between people and their
environment. It integrates behavioral, environmental, legal, and health sciences.
Research in social ecology is organized around two key themes:
 | The application of basic theory and research to the analysis and resolution of problems
affecting regional and global communities. |
| A multidisciplinary and multilevel approach that ensures understanding of these issues
from a wide range of perspectives, including individual behavior and motivation, social
influence, organizational and community dynamics, and policy initiatives enacted at state,
regional, and international levels. |
