The population bomb

Seminal work in population theory. Overpopulation is now the dominant problem in all our personal, national, and international planning. No one can do rational personal planning, nor can public policy be resolved in any area unless one first takes into account the population bomb. Schools, politicians, and mass media only touch the edge of the major problem. Ehrlich clearly describes our crisis in all respects--air, food, water, birth control, death control, and environmental impact. He also provides a realistic evaluation of our remaining options.
