斯莱特爵士是一位卓越的英国科学家,他在这本书里提供了他在芝加哥大学核子医药系发表的一些演讲的主要内容,在那里,人们要求他论述核子物理学在增加世界食物供应方面可能起的作用。他巧妙而明确地提出了一般的问题,这本书所谈到的就是这个一般问题的一个技术方面。在这样做的时候,他观察了世界人口增长的惊人的加速和世界各地目前粮食生产的悬殊。各个地区人口增长和粮食生产成反比关系,而生产则是和文化、财富及技术进步成正比例的。就象舒尔茨教
Sir Slater, a distinguished British scientist, provides in this book the main texts of his speeches delivered at the University of Chicago’s Department of Nuclear Medicine, where he was asked to address the topic of nuclear physics in increasing the world’s food supply Possible role. He cleverly and unequivocally raised the general question that the book deals with as a technical aspect of this general problem. In so doing, he observed the alarming acceleration of world population growth and the current disparity in food production around the world. Population growth in all regions is inversely proportional to food production, and production is proportionate to culture, wealth and technological progress. Like Schultz taught
