No human activity is more important than environmental negotiation and no human responsibility is more solemn than being an environmental negotiator. "Never before has man had such capacity to control his own environment, to end thirst and hunger, to conquer poverty and disease, to banish illiteracy and massive human misery". Etched in reader's mind forever are the blacksmith and the surgeon, the "know-it-all" expert and the warm, friendly negotiator. Readers now know how to win with style and how to lose with dignity.
