About this book
This book deals with the apparent conflict between the use of science and technology in economic development to raise standards of living worldwide; and the limited nature and unequal distribution of resources, environmental destruction, and threats to health from industrial waste. The author presents the thesis that there is no real conflict, only a need for a balanced, careful use of world resources.
