"Barbara Ward does not make the mistake common to many economists and political theorists of attempting to interpret the present, still less to prophesy the future, in terms solely of the past. Though in each of her lectures she traces for each of her fields the development of political thought from the earliest times, the great importance of the series lies in her analysis of the present and her synthesis of the components into a broad picture which explains while it informs." ―Kwame Nkrumah, from the Foreword It is so often said that an understanding of the present relies upon an understanding of the past; in the present age the truth of this is perhaps less patent than formerly. Never before has the world been so divided by conflicting ideologies, never has so much depended upon the finding, not, perhaps, of a reconciliation of the ideologies, but of a means of coexistence. The very continuation of the human race would seem to hang upon a solution of this problem. Through all these lectures runs a single thread, the inevitability of the freedom of man, even if that freedom is liberty for self-destruction. All history has shown that domination of man by man must in the end bring revolt, passive or active, when the right of the individual or the group triumphs over suppression . . . The past may no longer be a certain guide to the future; let us hope that in this one respect history will be the signpost, and that intolerance and exploitation and inhumanity of man to man may some day vanish from the earth. ―Kwame Nkrumah, from the Foreword

W.W.Norton&Company

"If, as I believe, there is more real security for Americans in understanding than in H-bombs, Barbara Ward has done us an inestimable service with this absorbing, enlightening book. I strongly urge my fellow countrymen to read it, for they will find in it essential information on the state of the world and essential inspiration to do what needs to be done.
"The ideas presented here are stimulating and provocative and illuminating. The ideas are new―and they make the news more understandable. And they suggest a policy for the West. A rewarding book...exceedingly important." ―Adlai E. Stevenson

The Rich Nations and the Poor Nations

The economist and social theorist addresses the issues facing the 1976 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements, proposing plans for urban life in tomorrow's highly populated cities.

The Home of Man

W.W. Norton & Co., Inc.

This important, definitive report on the state of the human environment has been commissioned by the Stockholm Conference Secretariat and is intended to provide a conceptual framework for the proceedings of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. The goal of this report is to provide an entirely objective background for decision-making, and it is an important guide for the general reader. The book begins with the history of the environment. It discusses newly learned facts about the biosphere as they related to the ever-increasing environmental risks on international, regional, and local levels. Subsequent sections discuss the effects of these environmental problems on the world community, and identify the needs for international corrective actions. The last section serves as a summary and recapitulation.
