About the author

Paul Ralph Ehrlich was an American biologist and educator who was the Bing Professor of Population Studies in the department of Biological Sciences at Stanford University and president of Stanford's Center for Conservation Biology. By training he was an entomologist specializing in Lepidoptera (butterflies), but he was better known as an ecologist and a demographer, specifically for his warnings about unchecked population growth and limited resources. Ehrlich became a household name after publication of his controversial 1968 book The Population Bomb.

Reviews

I forgot that I read this book. It was 42 years ago, during a year in which I read close to 100 books but I remember most of them. I don't recall what Ehrlich says but I'm sure he came down on the side of Enlightenment.
