The principal public statements of Lord Snow between 1959 and the present are collected in this book of lectures and essays: 'Two Cultures,' only too well known, and 'Science and Government,' which is about science in war time, are among them. He is concerned with the relation of science and technology to political decisions, and particularly to the decisions that will determine whether famine sweeps across half the world and whether overpopulation becomes a catastrophe.
