In a world on fast-forward, is there time to reconsider our common path?

By reconsidering commonly held notions on development and progress, the articles in this book may help form a new ethical base for a changing world. But in our technological, speed-of-light society, the future is already at our heels. The 21 essays for the 21st century do not preach or predict. They raise compelling questions, point out new dilemmas, examine our ideas about progress, and suggest possibilities for change.
