The Precautionary Principle : A Critical Appraisal of Environmental Risk Assessment, by Indur M. Goklany. The precautionary principle is a modern application of the old Hippocratic dictum, first do no harm. Mr. Goklany shows us that the absolutism of the environmental movement is not the most rational approach to solving environmental problems and maintaining bio-diversity. In this slender volume Mr. Goklany uses risk assessment to calmly deal with three potentially explosive environmental issues, DDT, Genetic Engineering and Global Warming. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the environmental debate.
