How Did I Become Involved with Environ mental Problems? In 1966, I heard a scientist give a lecture on the problems of population growth and pol lution. Afterward I went to him and said, "If even a fraction of what you have said is true, I will feel ethical ly obligated to give up my research on the corrosion of metals and devote the rest of my life to research and education on environmental problems and solutions. Frankly, I do not want to believe a word you have said, and I am going into the literature to try to show that your statements are either untrue or grossly distorted." After 6 months of study I was convinced of the seriousness of these and other environmental prob lems. Since then, I have been studying, teaching, and writing about them. This book summarizes what I have learned in more than three decades of trying to understand environmental principles, problems, con nections, and solutions.
