- Summary:
- A collection of essays of the subject of Negative Population Growth. Amongst the remarkable changes that occurred in the industrialized world in the twentieth century, the most fundamental change of all was the quadrupling of human population--a growth three times as large as the human race had experienced in all its previous history. The alarming increase in world population has profoundly altered mankind's relationship to the Earth natural resources. This scholarly compendium presents a collection of writings on the subject of population change, its consequences and the impact of human crowding on the future of mankind.--From publisher description.
