Progress : How One Idea Built Civilization and Now Threatens to Destroy It. by McDonald, Samuel Miller.;
Progress is power. It has built cities, delved the oceans and space, created wealth, opportunity, and remarkable innovation. But the modern story of progress is also a very dangerous fiction. In 'Progress', Samuel Miller McDonald offers a radical new perspective on the myths upon which the modern world is built, illuminating its destructive lineage and suggesting an urgent alternative. McDonald argues that if humanity is to thrive, then we must dismantle, reimagine, and create anew what progress means.Library Bound Incorporated

Originally produced by Ronin Films in 2003.The Landau String Quartet comes together to rehearse. Each player has travelled a very different path to become a musician. In this dramatised documentary, the musicians reveal the story of that journey. In their own words, they talk of abusive teachers, loss of innocence, seductions, fear and attempts to escape the pressure of discipline. The filmmaker, Carla Thackrah, herself a professional musician, comments: “I’ve always been fascinated by the strong psychological correspondence between a musicians’ self-definition and their instrument. This film is essentially a dramatised documentary around this theme.”Mode of access: World Wide Web.
