ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The condition for human survival is a new strategy based on the cooperation of all to ensure the survival of all. Common preservation is now the necessary condition for self-preservation. None of us can count on survival for ourselves and the people and things we care about unless we take concerted action to transform the current patterns of human life. Self-preservation for individuals and groups can now only be ensured through common preservation of our species and its environment as a whole. The attempt to solve our problems by self-preservation at the expense of others now threatens the survival of all. Harbingers was the discovery of fallout from nuclear testing that made the threat of the nuclear arms race real to millions of people who had previously experienced nuclear Armageddon as only a remote and hypo-thetical threat.
