The spine is faded and bumped. 6 ½ x 4 ½, 96 pages, 12 ounces XX A remarkable book for its time. [From the 9/13/1936 New York Times review] WASTE is a very small book. It can be slipped lightly and easily into a man's coat-pocket or a woman's fair-sized purse. It is written with complete simplicity, and calmly withal. Yet it is a clarion cry for the saving of our country. And every sentence in it counts. As we recover from flood and shrivel in drought and struggle with unemployment, this book should be read by every man and woman in the United States. Indeed, the children might well read it, too. It is so clear, so definite, so practical. We have about twenty years, says the author, quietly, in which the fate of American civilization will be decided. After that, we shall begin to go the way of other great civilizations which have used up their resources, unless we can fight a winning war against waste. David Cushman Coyle is a consulting engineer, a leader in that hard-boiled profession: he was in charge of the engineering design of the New York Life Building, the United States Chamber of Commerce Building, and many others; he is consultant to the National Resources Committee; and his work has kept him in touch with harsh and unemotional facts, like iron and steel and concrete and hurricanes and floods and dust storms. Who's Who lists his activities, his address, but no political party. If this book is considered from the point of view of partisan politics, so much the worse for partisan politics. It goes, in truth, far beyond that. For Mr. Coyle's chapters, at once stern and challenging, scientific and sensible, take up, one by one, the wastages in our national resources, and the cause and cure of each: waste by dust, by mud, waste by and of water; waste of forests, of mineral resources, of animals; waste of men by disease; at last the terrible waste of human erosion. These wastes, he shows, one by one, can be ended only by intelligent programs of activity. They cannot be ended without spending money. And while money spent in such work of conservation repays itself a thousandfold.
