Summary

"In the second half of the 20th century, history entered a new phase. The human race became so numerous, and its technical power so great, that its activities began to have an impact on the biosphere, the entire planet. In the last quarter of the 20th century people realized that this was happening and began to address the problems it raised. If the impact on the biosphere is not to be too damaging, these activities must be controlled. Since all nations live in the biosphere and all can affect it, all must be involved. This is an entirely new kind of international situation, and one that will become increasingly important. It will change the ways that nations deal with one another, and it will change the way we live." -- p. [ix].
