"Living on the Edge" was the title Doug chose to discuss with his audience at his inaugural lecture last night at Brackenhurst. Doug described how the 1972 book "The Limits to Growth" by Meadows et al. was an early influence on him and he explored how - since this publication and its successors - we had continued to exploit the earth's resources and live beyond its long-term capacity.
The quality of questions was an indicator of the depth of the audience's interest in this area and today Doug developed these ideas further with our geography and environmental science students.
