Paul and Anne Ehrlich revisit their 1968 book The Population Bomb in the context of the challenges we face today.

ABSTRACT: The Population Bomb has been both praised and vilified, but there has been no controversy over its significance in calling attention to the demographic element in the human predicament. Here we describe the book’s origins and impacts, analyze its conclusions, and suggest that its basic message is even more important today than it was forty years ago
