| Summary/Abstract |
"What is the best way to move our planet to a safe and sustainable future? This book focuses on two global issues - rapid population growth and a human-induced climate change caused by emissions - that lie at the heart of this problem. John Firor and Judith Jacobsen summarize the current status of these two issues, show how they are related to one another, and prescribe steps that governments, economies, societies, and individuals can adopt to ensure their stability."

| Summary/Abstract |
Bronowski's book is dedicated to the identity of acts of creativity and of imagination, whether in Blake or Yeats or Heisenberg. According to Bronowski, our account of the world is dictated by our biology; by how we receive and translate our experience of the world so that we achieve knowledge. He examines the mechanics of our perception; the origin and nature of natural language; formal systems and scientific discourse; and how science, as a systematic attempt to establish closed systems one after another, progresses by exploring its own errors and new but unforeseen connections.
