Scope and content
Was given Ten faces of the universe for Christmas, and it has been a pleasure to 'follow the skein of your thinking as you weave spacetime cables of threads into a cosmic tapestry'. Takes issue with the last few pages, as believes there may be an escape from increasing population and diminishing resources, because affluent countries tend to have zero population growth, and all countries can be made affluent by using resources on the moon, asteroids, and from the sun. [Annotated in hand of Barbara Hoyle: 'Replied suggesting he read Energy or extinction, 16/2/79']
