Confronting Disaster
Confronting Disaster
About this book
"Contemporary society is rife with instability. Humans' active and invasive investigation of genetics has raised and given life to the one-time science fiction specter, the clone. The scarcity of natural energy sources has led to greateer manipulation of atomic or nuclear energy and, as a result, to greater danger. And the promises of globalization have delivered in some cases, but, in many other ways, they have created social and economic disparity. Raphael Sassower addresses growing popular anxiety regarding these and other issues in Confronting Disaster: An Existential Approach to Technoscience."--BOOK JACKET.
