Quotes by Colin Mason

The facts and arguments in this book are intended to signpost new directions of thought and action for a better rather than a worse future - but are the goals they point to achieveable ?  Certainly they will involve change,  and pretty radical change at that,  and as past experience shows,  it will not happen without strict observance of the axioms.
