The editor, Robert Lanza MD, persuaded distinguished contributors such as former President Jimmy Carter, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Carl Sagan, Jonas Salk, Christiaan Barnard, Linus Pauling, US Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Director-General of the WHO, the President of the AMA (among the forty outstanding spokespeople represented, including the Ministers of Health from the UK, Japan, France, Russia, and India) to join forces in a discussion of the world's major interrelated issues of health and survival as we enter the next century..Lanza passionately states: \"Society, from scientist to politician to media representative to the man in the street, must displace its apathy, overcome resistance to new concepts of healing, and lay aside its religious taboos. It must arouse public concern and stimulate the political will to attack problems based on an assessment of their damaging effects on humanity and the environment, rather than on nationalistic and sectarian politics. Medicine and science have found the means to alleviate or remove much of human suffering from diseases, but their progress is often hindered by the lack of or wrong motivations of society at large. Concerted international action, ever greater research efforts and global exploration, and application of our increasing fund of knowledge in areas of medicine and public health are urgently needed.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181651292448,"sku":"NEW0929173163","price":15.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51lG7_FgZXL.jpg?v=1786598349","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/one-world-the-health-and-survival-of-the-human-species-in-the-21st-century-0929173163","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
