If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one. Galsworthy // Is man moving toward a new kind of life? Will the near future witness a unique transformation in the human condition, a transformation that will enable man to understand his destiny and to shape it? These questions, and their vital and absorbing answers, lie at the heart of The Step to Man. This fascinating new book is the work of a biophysicist who is, at present, Associate Director of the Mental Health Research Institute at the University of Michigan. In it, he has drawn together a series of original, related essays on the evolving social and intellectual nature of man. The essays are concerned with what man is - and what he may become - and they touch upon almost every branch of human endeavor: science, education, history, social progress, philosophy, and literature. Offering us a fresh, dynamic overview of today's complex technological society, The Step to Man is a book that should be read by everyone interested in our changing evolutionary development.

Condizione: VERY GOOD. First printing. A very accessible and readable book by this an American physicist and biophysicist, professor at the University of Chicago, who was noted for his pioneering work in the 1940s and later in the field of molecular biophysics and biophysics. This book, described as a "fresh look at man confronting his scientific destiny," reflects his shift in the 1960s to philosophy of science, vision and perception, and social trends. It is an optimistic view of man's ability to use science to make a more secure life, to promote a greater prosperity and a mastery of himself and the world. A book worth reading even now, but unfortunately quite hard to find. vii, 174 pp. Very good in a good dust jacket (some light creasing to the outer margins of a few leaves, minor edgewear to the dust jacket a bit of bleeding from the red cloth spine to the interior of the dj ).
