Description
The Future of Man documents the proceedings of a Symposium held at the Royal Geographical Society London, on April 1, 1971.
This book deals with choices that man makes or may make, attempting to understand the paradox that the more man knows about himself and the environment the more baffling and controversial his choices become. The major problems of human survival, such as living space, natural resources, relationships with the rest of the living world, and creation, nurture and prolongation of life are also described. Other topics include the past and future distribution of homo sapiens and his activities in Great Britain, artificial synthesis of new life forms in relation to social and industrial evolution, and nature and control of aging.
This compilation is recommended for biologists and scientists aiming to understand the effects of technical innovation on people and their environment.
