Bucking the trends
Science and technology give us the powerful engines that drive economic growth. Nowadays, however, the trends are to focus on short-term objectives and optimal efficiency.

Pioneers can help but they need a little fresh air. (C) 2001 Donald W. Braben. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
