Approaching the Edge

Drawing on scientific and philosophical insights, physicist Michael A. Reimann uses an easy-to-read style to argue that the human race is at a turning point in its brief but spectacular history on planet Earth. Our manual dexterity, superior brain and creative ingenuity have raised us to the top of the food chain and have given us mastery of our environment. However, we are also driven by greed, self-interest and destructive belief systems. These are forces that work against our collective journey into the future we face in an over-populated world fraught with the serious consequences of our excesses. Our journey forward is not likely to be a smooth one.
