| In a daring exploration of three intersectingimpulses--instinct, intelligence, and sur-vival-Harold Hayes weaves three intriguingstrands of narrative. One of these is his personal quest as ajournalist in search of answers to the hardquestions about the prospects for the survivalof man, the only animal that systematicallydestroys his own environment. In Nairobi,Sydney, and Moscow, as well as in places lessremote, he questions the experts on theirviews and finds agreement that individualingenuity holds the key to our future and thefuture of our planet. Portraits of these men--among them, A. 1. Oparin, Cyril Ponnamperuma, Garrett Hardin, Archie Carr--vividly emerge through their own words,which range from grim to hilarious. |
