Desmond Morris - Earth In Vision

...trouble. The criticism that David should talk more about the problems rather than showing the beauties of nature, I think is unfair, because if there were no beauties of nature we wouldn’t want to preserve them.

Introducing ethics in Information and Computer Sciences

...trouble, which, of course, did not exist. The case was widely reported on the media (see BBC News for a snippet [accessed 18 June 2009]).
