Abstract

We want to start with an optimistic perspective. It will be expanded in Chap. 3 of the book, but readers should remember it’s coming while familiarizing themselves with the not-so-pleasant facts of today’s realities. An optimistic perspective makes it easier to find realistic strategies for alleviating the daunting problems we face.
