A Safe and Sustainable World

"In the late sixties, a pioneering group founded a small nonprofit research and education organization they called the New Alchemy Institute. They wanted to build a safer and more sustainable world. In the ensuing years, along with scientists, agriculturists, and a host of enthusiastic amateurs and friends, the group set out to develop innovative ways to meet the basic human needs of food, shelter, and energy. A Safe and Sustainable World is the story of that journey, as it was and as it continues to be."--Jacket.
