Читать книгу Life Under Glass - Марк Нельсон - Страница 11

BIOSPHERE 2 WAS THE RESULT OF A creative and dedicated network of scientists, managers, engineers, and architects who attempted the impossible—and succeeded. But a special word of recognition is due to three people: John Allen, for his vision, boundless energy, and practical savvy; Margaret Augustine, for her tenacity in guiding the dream towards its fulfillment; and Edward Bass, for his manifested commitment to the environment and the ecological technologies of the future.

The eight-member crew was only a part of this story; Biosphere 2 needs both a team on the outside as well as the inside. While the following pages give an insight into the challenges of living under glass, the entire biospherian crew is deeply appreciative of the extensive team on the outside whose support made our adventure possible. Without their dedication and vigilance, we could not have completed our task.
