The 20Th Century Legacy: The Explosion Of Technology & Humanity's Struggle With Nature

In this book Frank J. Welch, a retired scientist and longtime manager of technology, traces the development of technology and science over recent centuries and explains their effect on society and government. His Outside the Box" view explains how the popular understanding of science and technology and their effects on society is incomplete and misleading ... Welch describes how ecology programs that began in the 1970's to reduce environmental pollution and conserve natural resources, were diverted in the 1990's to control the weather and to return the environment back to its natural state; government direction of technology often is costly and counterproductive. He notes how diversity leads to an unstable society, because it conflicts with the innate human need for culture guidance."--Cover.
