Book Description
The AAAS Atlas of Population and Environment is an important analysis
of the relationships between human population and the environment.
Illustrating through text, maps, and diagrams how population factors
such as rates of growth, density, movement, and resource consumption,
along with the use of certain technologies, affect the world's ecosystems
and natural resources both in the short and long term, the Atlas brings
together a wealth of information from the most up-to-date sources. In
view of the profound significance of these issues as we enter the new
century, this accessible resource will be an invaluable tool for individuals,
academics, governments, and corporations.

Editorial Review
Here's the bottom line according to Bill McKibben: the earth will not be able to sustain its ever
increasing population indefinitely. But the population problem is not just a phenomenon of
developing nations--the United States is a major environmental threat, gobbling up a huge piece
of the resources pie as our numbers grow larger every year. To avoid worldwide catastrophe,
McKibben believes that the United States must reduce its birthrate.
