Yet, all too often, people lack the time or background to read scientific reports for answers to these questions.

These readable essays are written by some of the country's leading scientists, engineers, physicians, and other experts.

Television journalist Hugh Downs asks "Who Owns Antarctica?" Readers learn the many ways in which science and technology affect their daily lives. This volume makes groundbreaking scientific achievement accessible, fascinating--and fun. Bridging the gap between the experts and the public, it is a "must read" for anyone concerned about the future.
