The 1971 B.Y. Morrison Memorial Lecture by Ian L. McHarg, noted landscape architect, planner, and lecturer, is presented in this pamphlet. His expose is two-fold. "Man is an epidemic, multiplying at a superexponential rate, destroying the environment upon which he depends, and threatening his own extinction. He treats the world as a storehouse…

A 1970 workshop that brought together academic and industrial engineers, sociologists, educators, and other behavioral scientists made some recommendations to universities, government, and industrial and professional societies concerning three major postulates. The postulates are that: (1) "public enlightenment on technology and how it interacts…

Presented is a description of the development and use of a technical system designed to provide students (in this case, engineering students) situated at remote sites a means for better interaction with their instructors. For example, students at such sites cannot get their immediate questions answered because of the physical location of their…

Reported are the results of a 1975 biennial survey of the occupational status of doctorate-holding scientists and engineers in the United States.
