Pg 17: Writers are evolutionists. Even 11 years ago they noticed population projections going down.
Pg 23: Water is coming up from the ground but ground water will not be replace in 200 years. This resource should be taxed.
Pg 26: Resource; How much is Enough: by Alan Durning.
Pg 34: The grain graph looks just like ths static future prediction in another book I have read. I'll review it later.
Pg 38: Several rivers are not reaching the ocean now. Is there any way we can pump salt water into the ground and get fresh out? just a thought. Deserts may some day have more aquifers that the plains have now. What about aquifer under the 9/10 of land not used for food? Is there fresh water under the sea? or mountains? Ice bergs? Where can we find water?
Pg 44: The spread of exotics distroy local diversity. That is good reason to stay home.
Pg 48: World oil production per person has dropped since 1979.
Pg 50: There is no basis for some of these projections.
Pg 53: A different defination of underemployment as working but not earning enough to meet basic need. I thought it was working below what you're trained to do.
Pg 56: People employable is a good thing.
Pg 59: A reason to live in small places. Diseaces require a critical number to take roots and spread.
Pg 62: Maybe it takes less land to produce our grain.
Pg 108: Says the economy must take a dip with things are used up. However we usually find a better way to do something before the resources are used up.
Pg 125: Ethiopia controls 85% of the head water of the Nile yet their GNP is 1/10 of that of Eqypt's. How long will that go on?
Pg 127: The key to this book is moving nations from stage two of demographic progress to stage three before the fall back into stage one. But is that a correct thing to do for leaders or anyone. God builds nations and spues them out. Their plan is to empower women, strengthen helath care and promote family planning. What are these really and what are the alternatives? What does the Bible teach and what are the best truths to follow?
Pg 129: Up until 1995 we were trying to grow less grains.
Pg 132: financial security based on interest or even saving is antifamily and is selfish to say the least.
Pg 134: The plan for family planning is stopped by cultural and religious barriers it says. And they put forth their stratagy for over coming it. Maybe next time Home School christian will be listed as the enemy.
Pg 137: We got to Roe v. Wade because of privacy now the family planners are trying to impose their view upon others privacy. This is basicly an open appeal to Billionairs to control the world's population.
Pg 168: The author is head of world wath institure which must have the same position. I'm really surprised at how open they are. Of course this is very dated since the world has changed so much. What is their position now?

An important book. Very handy and effective in equipping one with knowledge about the challenges emanated out of population growth. It is not effective only to the extent of informing us about the challenges, it awakens our conscience of our role and responsibility as an individual to put our share into the greater effort to make this world a worth living place for us and our generations to come. I will keep this book with me to take benefit from it.
