There are also goods which he does not want to and cannot do without. And he will learn to economize, and he will not seek to win one thing, only to lose everything else with it. For if man had gained everything that could be gained with his technology, he would have come to the realization that life on the now disfigured earth—which has been made so excessively easy and simple—is actually no longer worth living; that we have indeed snatched everything that our planet had to give away, and in the process we have destroyed it, and thus ourselves, in this extractive work. Each one of us has to take care of his own part, so that the change may come before it is everywhere too late forever!” Paul Schultze-Naumburg Heimatschutz I: Die Laufenburger Stromschnellen (Homeland Conservation I: The Laufenberger Rapids, Kunstwart) Richard Walther Darré (1895-1953) C ONTENTS Foreword by Warren Balogh Preface I.
