"The cruelest cost of this next phase of the industrial revolution will be its human cost... It is at this point that the rich nations might intervene to change the course of history: the surpluses of high technology can balance the defecits of the poor nations and minimize the cost to the living generations of the rich and poor alike. This is the human vision that men have in mind today when they speak of 'economic development.' The authors of this book have collaborated in a a careful, professional appraisal of the possibility... This book is the product of a venture in science journalism. Its chapters made up the content of a single-topic issue of Scientific American, published in September 1963." -- from the preface
