  • The answers may not be comforting, and one may disagree, but the arguments are well made.
    —Population and Environment
  • In North America, we have the tendency to look at the world from a strictly American point of view. In this book, we see how others view the world. I recommend this book to everyone for study and possible action.
    —Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith
Description: This scientifically rigorous and philosophically sophisticated defense of environmentalism is meant to excite, educate, and alarm the reader. There is a widespread scientific and public recognition that the world is facing an environmental crisis of vast proportions. What is the relationship between the growth of human population and industrial activity on one hand and the environmental crisis on the other? If this is not determined and dealt with, Earth's ecology may be expected to collapse.
