Science and Technology in The World of The Future

---

This book deals in future, the future of science and engineering in certain broad fields that are undergoing rapid change and are destined to influence profoundly the world of the future. It is written by eminent scientists and engineers, as well as by leaders in government who have been deeply thoughtful of the forces shaping tomorrow’s world from the preface science and technology in the world of the future presents a timely speculative approach to the future of applied sceince and technology in the next quarter century. Nineteen contributors present philosophical projections of rapidly evolving fields that will alter our way of life and our structures of knowledge.rnThe topics are as diverse as they are provocative. Albert Arking and Robert Jastrow postulate the origin, behavior, and future of the glaxies, nebulae, and solar systems. rnThe ocean’s unsolved scientific mysteries and abundance of natural resources as the next great challenge to man’s ingenuity. Man-macjine symbiosis by brain amplification and brain to computer interconnections are some of the possibilities John Milsum predicts in biological engineering. R. Buckminster Fuller foresees invisible weightless architecture accomplished with electromagnetic fields, while Constantinos A. Doxiadis describes a universal system of integrated human settlements stretching out in bands over the surface of the earth. Twelve additional article discuss such topics as hypersonic air transports traveling at 7,000 miles per hour, the unlocking of the atomic nucleus, an instantaneous world wide communication network, and other topics.rnThis book is written in non mathematical language for scientists and engineers. To students in engineering orientation courses, it provides an excellent introduction into the profession and a stimulating projection of the future, a future they will be creating.rnDr. Arthur B. Bronwell is a dean of engineering at the University of Connecticut. His previous positions include President of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, faculty member Northwestern University, Executive Secretary of the American Society for Engineering Education, and editor of the Joutnal of Engineering Education. In addition, he has served on governmental mission to Japan and UNESCO (Paris). He is the author of books on microwaves and advanced mathematics, numerous article in technical journals, and holds patents in color television.rn
