Limits to Growth

Synopsis

The problems of our world point to disaster in the future. A group of influential academics and businessmen got together, with the help of a computer, to analyse the problems and find some solutions. It appears that all the issues (violence, pollution, starvation, population growth) are interlinked, and it would be of no use to attack just one aspect.
First-year courses in environmental science and other interdisciplinary science and society courses. Any first year undergraduate course with strong social interests; also engineering, pure and applied science courses at introductory level.*
