More than half a century ago, the biologist/ecologist Barry Commoner made a clarion call about an impending environmental crisis if human beings continue with their rapacious use of nature's gifts. He made this through his 1971 book that I have already cited in the first two parts of this series ('The Closing Circle: Nature, Man, Technology'). Commoner's third law is 'Nature knows best.' Left undisturbed, nature will just heal its own 'wounds,' to regenerate after a major catastrophe. This has been demonstrated in the earth's capacity for rebirth after the presumed 'big bang' that decimated prehistoric creatures like the dinosaurs and other living organisms.
