For the small, underdeveloped nations, in particular, the rich buffet of know-how was a memorable feast. Waving a thick sheaf of scholarly reports, one Israeli scientist declared happily: "This'll keep me busy for years...

Theodore Roszak, 48, a wartime aircraft and armored tank designer, turned his back on an industrial design career to study "primitive, simple survival characteristics, for instance, how a plant survives in the U.S. Southwest...
...invading conquerors decided to make it a place of splendor. The Mongol Emperor Kublai, grandson of Genghis Khan, ordered the building of Green Mount, a hill that was dotted with evergreens brought from far and wide by imperial elephants, paved with a layer of green copper ore and topped by a green pavilion.
