Summary Note

"The time for a first book on Geoethics has come. The faster, greedier pace of society and globalization demands it. The comfortable life of scholars in the ivory tower is coming to a rude awakening.

Less dramatic, but damaging the credibility of the scientific community is the rising number of cases of plagiarism, made easy by the electronic world of communication. In addition, the community of geoscientists needs to become aware of subtle ways in which our work can be useless for or even misleading the public"--
