The Effluent Society by Norman Thelwell

Sharp cartoons on pollution and modern progress

Very Good Condition – Vintage book in very good condition with minor cover and edge wear.

Norman Thelwell turns his unmistakable comic eye toward conservation, pollution and the environmental consequences of modern life. Through energetic drawings and dry observations, he exposes the absurd ways an affluent society can foul its rivers, countryside and towns while calling the result progress. The humour is playful but the warning remains pointed, making the book both a period satire and an enduring comment on careless consumption. The Effluent Society is a compact collection for readers who enjoy classic British cartooning with an ecological edge.
