I purchased this book to help out fellow PBS members who wish listed it from the sale shelf of a branch library. Someone brought in this copy; it appears unread.
Reading the four pages on overpopulation, I credit the author for at least mentioning it, although he beats the subject with Malthus' theory. At least, he mentions a couple of NGOs working to reduce the birthrate. The world population has tripled in my own lifetime.
His writing seems otherwise straightforward. No maps, photos, or tables.
