During the past decade, we have witnessed significant changes in
the sciences as well as the day-to-day life styles of our citizens.

significant change was to take many Americans by surprise. The oil
embargo on The United States caused unexpected shortages of fuels.

our energy-rich future with non-renewable resources is limited. The
modelling of ecosystems, population growth, urban development,
etc., have continued to raise our awareness that life on earth,
including renewable resources, is indeed fragile. Contrary to
popular belief, even wood and wood products are not limitless.
