David Loth & Morris L. Ernst The Taming of Technology Simon & Schuster 1972
Title: The Taming of Technology
Author: David Loth & Morris L. Ernst
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Simon & Schuster 1972
Edition: First Printing
ISBN: 9780671211998
ISBN: 10 0671211994
Size: 5.5 X 8.25 * 256 pages
Synopsis: From the jacket panels: "A first-rate primer," says Robert Moses.
At last, here is a book which vigorously outlines the legal restrictions that can be used to curb the environmentally destructive aspects of technological growth. It opens new vistas for the humanistic concerns of law in medicine, computers, communications, outer space, the ocean, ecology, and even the control of weather ("Who owns the clouds?"). It forces one to go beyond the provincialism of thinking of law in fixed terms, and sees law instead as being adaptable to all areas of the physical and biological sciences. More than this, it raises the important issues of what is really happening with technological advances: Why are the legal aspects considered only after the damaging effects have occurred? What about individual rights in limiting the powers of technology?
The Taming of Technology compels the conclusions that technology must be brought under legal control if it is not to become exploitation rather than progress, and that man, along with his intellectual concern for advancement, must know as well when it is time to stop.
