In the past man's worst enemy was Nature. He lived under the continual threat of
famine and pestilence, a wet summer could bring death to whole nation' and every
winter was a menace. Mountains stood like a barrier between people and people,
a sea was less a highway than an impassable division. Today Nature, though still
an enemy, is an enemy almost completely conquered. Modern agriculture assures
us of an ample food supply. Modern transportation has made the resources of the
entire planet accessible to all its inhabitants. Modern medicine and sanitation
allow dense populations to cover the ground without risk of pestilence. True, we
are still at the mercy of the more violent natural convulsions. Against earthquake,
flood and hurricane, man has, as yet, devised no adequate protection. At most
times, Nature is no longer formidable, she has been subdued.
