Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A New Reality: Human Evolution for a Sustainable Future provides a startling, fresh new message of understanding, perspective and hope for today's tense, rapid-fire, kaleidoscopically changing world. Drawn from the writings of visionary scientist Jonas Salk, who developed the polio vaccine, and extended and developed by his son Jonathan, the message of A New Reality explodes from the past, and sheds light on tensions that besiege us, and the currents of discord that are raging as these words are written. More importantly, it indicates a way forward out of our current situation. Written by a world-famous doctor and folk hero, based on population data, rich in visual imagery, elegantly designed, and clearly written, A New Reality is unique in the marketplace. Readable in one or two sittings, it is accessible to the general reader while at the same time being of essential value to policy makers and academics. Its brevity and simplicity of design belie the importance and sophistication of its message. "We are at a point in the course of human social evolution when the demands of survival converge with the higher ideals of humankind and the well-being and flourishing of human society. It is up to us to see that we navigate this transition, adapting to and emerging in a new reality." --A New Reality Our country is divided and polarized. Terrorism is a major threat throughout much of the world. Mass migrations are causing national and international tension. Population growth continues to increase, especially in the developing regions of the world. Controversy rages as to the use of fossil fuels versus the development of alternative forms of energy. Disagreement continues about climate change. Opposing currents of opinion collide as to how much we should help other areas in the world and how much to help ourselves. Basic values are in conflict. More than 40 years ago, Jonas Salk understood that we are at a unique moment in the history of the human species. After centuries of increase, population growth has begun to slow and is trending toward equilibrium. This change is accompanied by an equally significant change in human values--a shift from those based on unlimited availability of resources, unremitting growth, excess, independence, competition and short-term thinking to those based on limits, equilibrium, balance, interdependence, cooperation and long-term thinking. This momentous transition is the source of far-reaching tension and conflict. The way through this difficult era is to understand its basis and to focus on new values that will be of the greatest benefit to humankind. There is an urgency, however, and failure to adapt will result in disaster both for humanity and for the planet as a whole. A New Reality delivers a message of both caution and hope. Readers across the social and political spectrum will find it a reasoned and balanced counterpoint to current social and political trends. Its elegant design and long-range perspective will appeal to general readers, policy makers, millennials, baby boomers, teachers, and students, filling a need in the marketplace for a work of positivity and wisdom in otherwise bleak times. An updated, revised, and redesign edition of Salk's "World population and human values: a new reality."

Quarto, white cloth (hardcover), xviii, 170 pp. Very Good, with age darkened pages; in a Near Fine dust jacket with a hint of edgewear. From dust jacket: This important, thought-provoking book studies human population growth and trends by examining biological factors as well as those factors involving human choice and human values. The differences in population patterns in the developed and developing areas of the world demonstrate the interplay between these factors. The book's aim is to provide an accessible and useful explanation of current and long-term problems of population growth, understanding necessary for the next step: developing strategies for survival and evolution. The theme unfolds pictographcially, with with 66 graphs to illustrate and supplement the text. The first part of the book offers examples of the growth curves of animal populations. The second section presents data on the history of world population growth, current trends and future projections. The book then deals with two major epochs in human history -- the time of almost limitless growth and expansion and the time of deceleration response to natural limits. The final sections explore the nature of human values in the different epochs and the necessary adaptation of our values, attitudes and behavior to improve the conditions of our lives and to ensure our future development.
