( This new addition to the prestigious Convergence Series...)
This new addition to the prestigious Convergence Series is an absorbing study focusing on the dilemma of science and technology in today's world. Bentley Glass, a renowned biologist, warns that for the first time scientists and science policies will be held directly responsible for the survival of the world. In this volume he formulates ethical guidelines for governing the future of scientific research. He addresses and offers solutions to the specific problems of inadequate science education, overpopulation, the transfer of scientific technology to developing countries, and the biological consequences of nuclear war.
