How Much Is Left? The Limits of Earth's Resources, Made Interactive. Justine Musk. Willis Harman. Willis Harman (August 16, 1918 – January 30, 1997)[1] was an American engineer, social scientist, academic, futurist, writer, and visionary. He is best remembered for his work with SRI International, for being president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in California,[2] and for his work in raising consciousness within the international business community.[3] Early life and education[edit] Career[edit] Harman taught for several years at the University of Florida before joining the Stanford faculty in 1952.[2] He eventually left Stanford to become a senior social scientist at SRI International where he initiated a futures research program, exploring the national and global future.

This giant, ambitious chart fit neatly with a trend in nonfiction book publishing of the 1920s and 1930s: the “outline,” in which large subjects (the history of the world! The 5-foot-long Histomap was sold for $1 and folded into a green cover, which featured endorsements from historians and reviewers.
The actual picture of the march of civilization, from the mud huts of the ancients thru the monarchistic glamour of the middle ages to the living panorama of life in present day America. This stunning geological map of Europe was produced in 1875 by Andre Dumont, a Belgian scientist and mapmaker. Physics. OUR ENERGY FUTURE. Copyright © 2006, Harold Aspden This website presents a deliberately concise summary account of something of vital importance to the future of mankind. The world needs a new source of energy, one that is not an exhaustible commodity subject to powerplay as between nations. Yes, one can dream and then awake to say this is impossible, but I urge those with the necessary skills to heed what I have to say in my three messages below.
First, however, let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Message No. 1: Physicists have come to recognize that there exists a quantum underworld alive with energy and permeating all space. There is also a secret they have yet to fathom. How else could the Sun spinning about its own axis have come into existence? In depth analysis of the physics involved, meaning the effect of the resulting radial electric field on that quantum underworld, then allows one to calculate the resulting rate of spin and thereby understand how the solar system was created.
