Touchstone Books, April 1991. 1st Edition. Trade Paperback. Very Good Clean, lightly used copy; solid binding. No marks or handwriting noted in text. 0.8 x 5.0 x 5.5 inches. Message of these articulate and respected advocates of global population: the world's growing population dwarfs the ecosystem's capacity to sustain life. Humanity will have to exercise massive birth-control programs, or nature will intervene and greatly reduce the number of people through famines, plagues and ecological disasters. A sequel to Paul Ehrlich's 1968 bestseller The Population Bomb. Proceeding country by country, the authors, Stanford environmental scientists, map the connections between overpopulation, exhaustion of soils, global warming, pollution, etc., and the widening gap between rich and poor nations. Outlines steps the average person can take to support planned population shrinkage and a less ecologically wasteful lifestyle., Touchstone Books, 3, A novel both timely and prophetic, Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopia is a hopeful antidote to the environmental concerns of today, set in an ecologically sound future society. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as the "newest name after Wells, Verne, Huxley, and Orwell," Callenbach offers a visionary blueprint for the survival of our planet . . . and our future.Ecotopia was founded when northern California, Oregon, and Washington seceded from the Union to create a "stable-state" ecosystem: the perfect balance between human beings and the environment. Now, twenty years later, this isolated, mysterious nation is welcoming its first officially sanctioned American visitor: New York Times-Post reporter Will Weston.Skeptical yet curious about this green new world, Weston is determined to report his findings objectively. But from the start, he's alternately impressed and unsettled by the laws governing Ecotopia's earth-friendly agenda: energy-efficient "mini-cities" to eliminate urban sprawl, zero-tolerance pollution control, tree worship, ritual war games, and a woman-dominated government that has instituted such peaceful revolutions as the twenty-hour workweek and employee ownership of farms and businesses. His old beliefs challenged, his cynicism replaced by hope, Weston meets a sexually forthright Ecotopian woman and undertakes a relationship whose intensity will lead him to a critical choice between two worlds., Random House Publishing Group, 1990-03-01, 2.5, Rosen Publishing Group, 1991-01-01.
