The intoxication of fame and glory is an important motive, especially for the scientists themselves. What bliss to be a sainted savior of the planet, to be the provider of agricultural abundance as communism dumps capitalism into the dustbin of history, or to be a new Prometheus, bringing the fire of cold fusion to desperate humanity ... [Pg.61]

Capitalize Earth, Sun, and Moon only when used in an astronomical sense. Venus and Mars are the closest planets to Earth. [Pg.148]

This transition will require a new mission for the industry that promotes human health and environmental quality as seriously as the market promotes economic efficiency and product effectiveness. Put conceptually, a sustainable chemical industry would be one that optimizes value from the use of chemicals, adds no new risks to everyday life, increases natural capital, minimizes the transfer of risks from one generation to another, respects and enhances the natural functioning of the planet s ecosystems, and assures no net loss of valuable resources. Creating such an industry will require government policy and market incentives that promote sustainability. This will require financial investment institutions and international development programs that are committed to developing an industry that is as ecologically sound and socially sensitive as it is economically productive. [Pg.330]

You don t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." It is easy to see whose deadly interests are being threatened here, and it is also easy to see that those powers who profit from destroying the planet are the same powers who will confiscate your property and throw you in prison for the crime of expanding your awareness. When seen in this perspective, psychedelic shamanism becomes a moral imperative for those of us who care enough about our lives to live them fully and fearlessly, regardless of consequences. Consequences create new choices which create new consequences only a few hundred years ago it was a capital offense to steal a loaf of bread. [Pg.13]

Confederation Navy frigate Leveque confirmed that all inhabited islands on Norfolk have now been covered by the reality dysfunction cloud," the news commentator said. "All contact with the surface has been lost, and it must be assumed that the majority, if not all, of the population has been possessed. Norfolk is a pastoral planet with few spaceplanes available to the local government because of this no attempt was made to evacuate any inhabitants to the navy squadron before the capital Norwich fell. A statement from Confederation Navy headquarters at Trafalgar said that the Leveque would remain in orbit to observe the situation, but no offensive action was being considered at this time. This brings to seven the number of planets known to have been taken over by the possessed."... [Pg.386]

Direct information on the ancient use of protein materials (cereal flours, animal blood, milk, and egg whites) for cosmetic purposes has come to us from all great ancient civilizations Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, and India (1), but the use of proteins for skin and hair care probably antedates recorded history. Traces of the remote self-beautification practices are still found from the residual primitive societies surviving on our planet. They tell us about the instinctive and empirical use of those protein substances which, after all with no capital modifications, are currently used and appreciated in modem cosmetology. For example, the migrant Eritrean shepherds of the Habab tribe still use, almost as unique cosmetic material, camel milk to clean the skin and hair, the Ainu fishers on the island of Hokkaido prepare facial masks with soy flour, the Badui tribe of Java treat hair with packs of rice flour and milk (2). [Pg.404]

The biosphere is an immense source of natural capital in many respects. The most obvious of these is production of food, beginning with plant photosynthesis. In addition, the biosphere generates large quantities of raw materials and feedstocks such as wood. As noted in the discussion of the Gaia hypothesis in Section 12.1.1, Chapter 12, the biosphere is very much involved in maintaining the Earth System in a state compatible with life and human existence on the planet. Another important aspect of the biosphere s natural capital is its ability to process and detoxify wastes. [Pg.325]
