Oversized. Slipcased. The present world population has been estimated at something over 3 1/2 billion people, a figure expected to nearly double by the year 2000. During this period, the world's urban population will likely increase by a factor of 4, from 1 to 4 billion people. This alarming growth of our cities, with their inordinately destructive demands on nature and the environment, threatens to steadily degrade the quality of life for billions of people. Simultaneously, there will be a generally increasing and world-wide demand for a higher standard of living, and these additional billions will require an ever-increasing volume of food, clothing, and shelter. Thus, the demand for industrialization, for energy, for material goods, and ultimately, for the earth's resources, can be expected to increase even more dramatically than the alarming growth in world population. Modern man, with his remarkable technological advances and his highly complex system for the use and misuse of this planet's limited resources, has achieved the ability for making truly momentous and perhaps irrevocable decisions of global effect. With the frightening increase in man's demand on his environment, he can no longer afford the luxury of trial-and-error solutions to complex ecological problems, or of decisions based upon limited or untimely information. On the contrary, we must demand that more complete and timely information give rise to more appropriate and ecologically-sound decisions and that we more thoroughly understand the cause-and-effect relations between man's behavior and his environment. Such enlightened response to constantly accelerating problems cannot be based upon either the quality or quantity of information which has heretofore been available, or which was sufficient a generation ago.
