Inhaltsangabe

"John Avery's fascinating account of how key problems of current interest originated back in time (and crucially in the Industrial Revolution) is competently offered to the attention of the new generations. In this new book, his terse style accompanies the exposition of the evolution of carefully chosen subjects, and favors the comprehensibility of deep concepts, treated with precision and completeness." Vincenzo Aquilanti Emeritus Professor, Università degli studi di Perugia Modern civilization faces a broad spectrum of daunting problems, but rational solutions are available for them all. This book explores the following issues: (1) Threats to the environment and climate change; (2) a growing population and vanishing resources; (3) the global food and refugee crisis; (4) intolerable economic inequality; (5) the threat of nuclear war; (6) the military-industrial complex; and (7) limits to growth. These problems are closely interlinked, and their possible solutions are discussed in this book.
