The scientific community cannot remain silent: to know is to foresee, to foresee is to prevent. Another world is possible if there is another vision, another way of addressing the problems. This book outlines how to build a brighter future that protects the environment, values, and people-driven policies, and applies scientific knowledge for peace, justice, and the improvement of universal respect of human dignity. The word and not the sword is the real solution! This book offers an enlightening guidance and compass at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
