Boy has Society Come a Long Way.,
By S. K. Leggate "Sunni" (Fernley, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Man a Machine and Man a Plant (Paperback)
This was a very interesting read. La Mettrie spends the course of two essays describing what for the most part may well be common knowledge now. What amazed me is that this was a banned book at one time and that he originally published it anonymously for fear of repercussions. Boy has society come a long way.
