The link between the environment and human needs is clear: most of our physical needs demand access to natural resources such as land, water and air, which, with the aid of radiant energy from the sun, generate plants and animals. Non-renewable resources such as minerals and fossil fuels are also needed for human survival and development. This volume goes further and explores the links between science, technology and the environment. Human beings have, through the uses of science and technology, so altered the environment that all living things are threatened with disaster or extinction if present trends continue. There is a need, therefore, for an ecologically orientated science and technology education to contribute its share to a reversal of these trends while there is still time.Baez, A.
