Jacques CousteauJacques Cousteau, the greatly admired French scientist, oceanographer and reknown undersea explorer, best known for his breath-taking movies of the under-water world, wrote his memoirs which were published shortly after his death at 87. In this autobiography, Man, Octopus and Orchid, he writes, "The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers; a demographic explosion that triggers social chaos and spreads death, nuclear delirium and the quasi-annihiliation of the species." Cousteau predicted that "Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years."One reviewer wrote that Cousteau's book "is a distress signal, an SOS. It's the work of a planetary sociologist deeply worried about the madness of man". |
