| Samenvatting: | "We have been warned by the best brains among scientists and philosophers that we have to learn to think in a new way if we are to survive the nuclear age. Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous harvest of modern science and technology, and people everywhere have been conditioned to live relatively unconcerned with the everywhere increasing risk that a nuclear holocoust will destroy us all. This book is a timely compilation of knowledge and wisdom which should be read by every Canadian who wants an update on what some of the best minds consider to be a necessary agenda to reduce the nuclear dangers. These dangers are man-made and require human effort to control them through political action. They must not just be left to technological 'fixes' like Star Wars, or to experts with tunnelvision, who disregard the ethical, economical and social costs of the current drift by governments toward nuclear disaster, in an increasingly interdependent world society."- George Ignatieff, Canadian diplomat and former Chancellor, University of Toronto. |
