ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING IN THE mSTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Lucjan
Pawlowski Information bombarding the nowdays Man may suggest that
the world is on the way to an ecological catastrophe. I do not
disregard the dangers we are facing now, but I would like to remind
that since the beginning ofexistence Man has been facing numerous
threats of an ecological character. First, they were caused by
natural phenomena, such as huge forest fires, floods, earth quakes,
and later on, caused by the development ofour civilisation, Man who
was becoming more and more powerful in his abilities started
creating new, anthropogenic threats. We may look pessimistically at
the development of our civilisation, having in mind the
catastrophes caused by Man's activity; we may also look at the
examples showing the development of knowledge and the skills
derived from it, which enable the elimination ofthreats and, at the
same time making Man's life richer. It is not possible to make an
in-depth analysis of the phenomena mentioned above in a short
opening speech of the Congress. Nevertheless, I would like to share
with you an optimistic reflection. I think that we can observe two
trends in the development of our civilisation - good alternates
with evil, environmental threats with the hope for their
overcoming, and events swing to both sides like a pendulum in a
clock.
