As far as the industrialized nations of the world are concerned, the world is a big place. Environmental destruction taking place outside their borders may sometimes be fodder for government pronouncements of concern, but few concrete actions. Deforestation of the Amazon, for instance, is of vital concern to all those who wish to continue breathing. But the only effective deterrent to this activity, the restriction of international aid money to those countries showing deforestation, has been stalled in the United Nations by those unwilling to interfere in the internal politics of other nations.

As the head of Pharmacology at my university once said (and I paraphrase): I can only research what I do because there are so many who have e before me to whom I can turn for basic knowledge. It is only because of each of the narrowly focussed individuals at each step that a full and true understanding of the plexities of life can be had. Each person can only hold enough knowledge to add one small rung to the ladder, but together we can climb to the moon. This illustrates the po
