«The Population Explosion» is the essay on population by Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich, published by Pocket Books in paperback (320 pp., in English).
Overpopulation is the main environmental problem: it worsens global warming, the destruction of rainforests, hunger and pollution. For the Ehrlichs, excess population in rich countries is more serious than rapid growth in poor ones, and they propose concrete measures to curb the birth rate before the death rate rises.
Paul R. Ehrlich is the author of 'The Population Bomb', according to the cover; the back cover places both authors at Stanford University.
Aimed at readers interested in the environment, demography and sustainability, and at university students of social sciences.
