I highly recommend this thorough and sanely provocative book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Lindsey Grant speaks with a calm and authoritative voice in this text that comprehensively shows the interelatedness of most of our world's and our nation's difficult problems which have at their source our unwillingness to confront the issue of population.If you don't understand how population has anything to do with our world's environmental, water, food, power or crowding issues, this book will make you wonder no longer.The author argues his points so persuasively that the reader cannot help but realize the truth: if we do not act now to reverse population growth in developed, developing and undeveloped nations, no amount of technological breakthroughs or conservation efforts will save us from ourselves. We will, simply through sheer numbers, consume ourselves to death.
Seeing how the population problem fits into the big picture

This is a wonderful book full of fascinating insights. It shows how our exploding population growth fits into the big piture. How it is affected by politcs, business, attitudes, technology, customs, etc., and how it in turn affects them. It has broadend my thinking on the subject, making me aware of many interrealtionships I had not thought of before. It should be read by all policy makers, and in a democracy like ours, by every one who has the capacity to understand the problem.
