Review

...few books in this field are as comprehensive, accessible, and explicitly humanistic as this one; and few authors transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries as well as Davis does in tackling the complex and recalcitrant problems of the social relations of modern science and technology.>>> (Choice)

The gravity of Professor Davis's subject seems not to have lessened the attractiveness of his treatment of it. His thesis is well documented and extremely interesting to read, and it is to be hoped that its realism and sanity will help direct our generation towards ways of survival.>>> (Environmental Ethics)
