Abstract

point on what might be expected in terms of available food supplies for the next generation.Although most topics are only briefly probed, the breadth of material covered reflects welI the author's varied agricultural experiences.The semi-technical presentation of complex situations makes the book easily understood by the layman as welI as by us whose disciplines are somewhat narrow in the agricultural sciences.The book lacks documentation, contains some apparent minor contradictions, and is not exceptionalIy welI organized.Its reminiscent, sometimes folksey style, however, provides for one or two evenings of relaxed enjoyable reading.It enlightens by clearly developing issues of interest to a great majority of readers, and most importantly, as emphasized in the final chapter, provides some guidelines for the average consumer towards assuring a continuous supply of nutritious food for coming generations.
