| dc.description.abstract | This detailed text reviews the economic and environmental conditions, resources and biotechnologies for human development: agriculture, food and health care, and the diagnostics, prophylactics and therapeutics through which life on earth has been sustained. A critical, analytical record of past experience from which to define and formulate productive courses of action for the future is needed in order to help avoid repeating past errors. The book also emphasizes the need for language that is precise, using words and sentences that convey unambiguous meanings. It urges those involved in ‘development’ to define in precise terms their objectives and criteria of assessment, and to understand comprehensively what already exists before seeking to bring about beneficial change. | en |
