His overall lesson is that as lives become more socially, technologically, and cognitively complex, the potential damage of wrong decisions multiplies--nuclear or environmental devastation rather than the family starving. Though his conclusions are somber, he believes that imperfect knowledge provides a rationale for putting forth best efforts. No subject index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
