Title: Useful for its historical insights as much as its content
Review: A solid piece of work which raises several important issues for consideration. Of course; first published some 20 years ago, this book is valuable for the insights into the history of population issue environmentalism almost as much as it is for its content. By far the easiest criticism to make of the book is, with the benefit of hindsight, of the atempt to "crystal-ball gaze" made by the author. It's also the most trivial criticism to make as, on the one hand, 20 years of hindsight always makes it easy to criticise anothers' atempted projections; while on the other hand, the likelihood that the projections were entirely accurate, but were averted thanks to this book and others of its ilk being published, can never be known. Certainly a benchmark publication of its type.
