"The authors are knowledgeable but never pedantic..their studious, emphatic approach is both valid and reassuring, and their overarching point - let's think about these things now, rather than trying to fix them later - well taken." The Washington Post "A well-reasoned, thorough synthesis of some momentous, if familiar, ideas." New Scientist"
