Abstract
THE theme of this book is set out in its opening paragraph: "We live in an environment of many facets related not as single pieces but as a mosaic, the pattern of which is not easily discerned at first glance. It must be seen in different lights before we appreciate its full design and real worth". Disturbances of one of the pieces of the mosaic may have far-reaching effects, yet directly man passed out of the hunting and fruit-collecting stage he began to disturb the pattern, sometimes with unforeseen and disastrous results.
