| Description: |
Comprehensive and global in scope, this survey of the human overpopulation dilemma is based upon interviews shot around the world for the documentary film "No Vacancy". These remarkable interviews reveal how women's and children's health needs have led to couples having smaller families, thereby diminishing the global ecological burden. |
| Synopsis: |
The human population surpassed 6.4 billion in 2004, and will at current rates reach 13 billion by 2100. Most analysts see enough positive trends to reduce that demographic Mount Everest to as few as 9 billion people. This number will still represent an enormous challenge, given rates of resource depletion. This book provides a ray of hope in the population arena - hope that turns on the fact that women are telling us what has to happen if the human species is to survive. Comprehensive and global in scope, this in-depth survey of the human overpopulation dilemma is based upon interviews shot around the world for the future documentary film "No Vacancy". These remarkable interviews encompass the opinions of internationally renowned thinkers and scientists including Paul Ehrlich, Chris Flavin and Lester Brown, as well as the voices of other committed individuals who reveal how women's and children's health needs have led to couples having smaller families, thereby diminishing the global ecological burden. The books provides rare optimism for a remarkable transition to sustainability. |
