Chemicals are able to bring about both desirable and undesirable effects on organisms to which they are exposed, and the actions of medicines and poisons and toxic agents have been recognized for thousands of years. As a result of industrialization, modem man and the environment is now exposed to increasing numbers of chemicals. Because of their potential hazard, there is an appreciation of the requirement to assess the effects of these chemicals. Since chemical structure was elucidated (for a very brief history see Table 1.1), the relationship between chemical structure and...

Perhaps the best way to understand the mythical character of certain beliefs is to examine their history. Why did medieval man choose to believe in witchcraft and seek the amelioration of his society in the compulsory salvation of witches Why does modem man choose to believe in the myth of mental illness and seek the amelioration of his society in the compulsory treatment of mental patients In each of these mass movements we are faced with two interlocking phenomena a guiding myth (of witchcraft and of mental illness), and a powerful social institution (the Inquisition and Institutional Psychiatry) the former provides the ideological justification, the latter, the practical means for social action. Much of what I have said so far in this book, and particularly in Chapter 4, was an effort to answer the questions posed above. Since, in the discussion heretofore, my emphasis has been on institutional practices rather than on ideological (mythological) justifications, I shall concentrate, in this chapter, on what men believe and the imagery they use to express their belief, rather than on what they ostensibly seek and the means they employ to achieve it. 

Count Medroso s predicament has not vanished with the Inquisition. On the contrary, all too often modem man must face the same painful dilemma. Should he choose domination if only to avoid subjection No, Camus cries out Even those who are fed up with morality ought to realize that it is better to suffer certain injustices than to commit them.. . ... 

DNA patterns have shown us that modem man is very similar to all the apes ineluding Asian Orangutans, African Gorillas and Chimpanzees. The time at which each of the various species diverged from each other remains a matter of considerable uncertainty in academic circles. Estimates are little more than tentative speculations based on assumed average mutation rates and an arbitrary sizing of the time scale. 

We must be careful to understand that Australopithecus was not halfway on the path to modem man in any linear sense but rather one of many hybrids that emerged, for a while, in parallel to both the Proconsols and Man. Australopithecus became extinct about two million years ago. 

At forty thousand years, the Asian Homo Sapien (Sapien) or Modern Man emerged in Asia as in Africa. In contrast to his African counterpart, Asian Modem Man was light skinned, non-hairy and had a variable build. 

Now all these tribes believe in re-incamation, and their line of argument runs somewhat as follows — We bury our dead in the ground, and lo, a tree or plant grows from the spot. This contains the life-principle of him who dies, his soul is in it, and from it he leaps into a woman and so once more is bom. Frankly, the modem man who, while acknowledging that a human being has a soul, appears to believe that that soul is created by the same procedure that creates the infant s body is even more illogical, for how can a material act create an immaterial and immortal being ... 

Dr. Starkey contends that Agent 007 is popnlar because he reflects a world of values subscribed to and aspired to by many in our affluent, rootless cultme today. The five chapters deal with sex, sadism, status, leisure time, and a narrow nationalism. His aim in each is to isolate the Bond reflection of a cmrent value, followed by showing the distortion of life which such a value holds for modem man (Starkey, 1966 11). 

Back to Namre is the present day mantra of the modem world. The current trend is to find out new materials based on natural substances. Increased environmental awareness and the current economic simations tempt the modem man to make use of Natural fibres in developing new composite materials. Namral fibres are extracted from various parts of plants, and several extraction procedures are in vogue. The fibre properties depend on the part of the plant from which the fibres are obtained and the extraction methods used. 

Patterson has suggested that the levels of lead now present in the blood and tissues of modem man are very much higher than those prevailing in preindustrial times and that the natural level in blood corresponding to the conditions under which man evolved, is around 0.0025 ppm. On the basis of this view, what are now usually regarded as normal lead levels in Western Society could be indicative of lead toxicity at a sub-clinical level. If this is the case, we can expect children to be particularly affected, since they are known to be susceptible and there is a well-known association between lead toxicity and...
