If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one. Galsworthy // Is man moving toward a new kind of life? Will the near future witness a unique transformation in the human condition, a transformation that will enable man to understand his destiny and to shape it? These questions, and their vital and absorbing answers, lie at the heart of The Step to Man. This fascinating new book is the work of a biophysicist who is, at present, Associate Director of the Mental Health Research Institute at the University of Michigan. In it, he has drawn together a series of original, related essays on the evolving social and intellectual nature of man. The essays are concerned with what man is - and what he may become - and they touch upon almost every branch of human endeavor: science, education, history, social progress, philosophy, and literature.

This book, described as a "fresh look at man confronting his scientific destiny," reflects his shift in the 1960s to philosophy of science, vision and perception, and social trends.
