Sobre IBD

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.
