Ernst, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Unique knowledge…: Unique knowledge… 'The EOLSS is not only appropriate, but it is imaginative and, to my knowledge, unique. Much of what we can write about science, about energy, about our far-ranging knowledge base, can indeed be found in major encyclopedias, but as I understand your vision, never as a central theme; the theme of humanity, embedded in nature and constrained to find ways of maintaining a relationship with nature based upon understanding and respect.' Leon M. Lederman, Nobel Laureate in Physics Control of Destiny…: Control of Destiny… 'Pursuit of knowledge and truth supersedes present considerations of what nature, life or the world are or should be, for our own vision can only be a narrow one. Ethical evaluation and rules of justice have changed and will change over time and will have to adapt. Law is made for man, not man for law. If it does not fit any more, change it…. Some think that it is being arrogant to try to modify nature; arrogance is to claim that we are perfect as we are! With all the caution that must be exercised and despite the risks that will be encountered, carefully pondering each step, mankind must and will continue along its path, for we have no right to switch off the lights of the future…. We have to walk the path from the tree of knowledge to the control of destiny.' Jean-Marie Lehn, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Life Support Systems…: Life Support Systems… 'EOLSS is concerned with the Life Support Systems… Each of these systems is a very complex one. …we have to think of all these 'systems' as closely related 'subsystems' of the Planet Earth System. …Rational decisions will be more and more possible to envision if one will be able to couple the physical modeling to economic and financial models and to human factors…' J.L. Lions, Japan Prize winner in Applied Mathematics Authors and Users…: Authors and Users… 'Proud for having given my small contribution to such success' Benedetto De Vivo, Italy.
