First Published in 2011. This title explores the difficult and critical questions of the recent advances in science and technology and their strong influence on the production and use of natural resources. Planners, administrators, and ordinary voters must be aware of the physical and biological possibilities and limitations of their plans and aspirations; and scientists and technologists must recognize the social and economic meaning of the applications of their research. The present volume largely looks ahead, from the standpoint of outside influences upon resources from the laboratory and industrial plant. The essays resist pigeon-holing, for each distils in a few pages the accumulated thought and experience of men of varied viewpoints and strong convictions.

Industry Reviews

'The developers of the plans for the series of lectures from which this book emerged recognized that they were not covering the whole resource field. They were limited to six major topics [Genetics, Weather Modification, Mineral Exploration, Chemical Technology, Nuclear Energy, and Space Exploration]. On the whole their selections were very good. This authoritative, well-written book should prove very popular.'
Martin R. Huberty, University of California, Los Angeles
