Exploding Population Myths

It is commonly accepted that the world and human survival are threatened by "over population." But this powerful, myth-busting book asks the questions that are usually ignored. It asks how we can determine if we are over-populated, and then uses easily verifiable facts to debunk the claims. As thought-provoking as those revelations are, Peron's analysis of the "population control" movement will be even more shocking. He shows how major "population control" groups evolved out of the racist eugenics movement of the early 1900s. He also shows how the economic policies and the politics of dictatorial African governments--and not high birth rates--have led to famine and death.

Thoroughly researched and fully documented, Exploding Population Myths will turn your view on the threat of overpopulation upside-down. You may not agree with Peron's analysis, but if you are concerned about the state of the planet, you will have to come to terms with the facts in this book.
