520 1 $a"The Perils of Progress calls on the latest scientific research to challenge our society's largely unquestioned commitment to new technologies. While these have undoubtedly brought many benefits, the authors argue that industrial society's reliance on every latest technology as a cure-all for our problems is seriously misplaced - in some cases dangerously so. Their book introduces the reader to a vast array of health and environmental issues which are increasing public concern."--Jacket.
