Om författaren
Paul Ehrlich, founder and first president of the Zero Population Growth organization, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received a B.A. in zoology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1953 and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in 1955 and 1957, respectively. He became a visa mer member of the faculty at Stanford University in 1959 and was named Bing Professor of Population Studies in 1976. He is a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, and in 1990 he was awarded Sweden's Crafoord Prize, created by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to honor researchers in those disciplines not covered by the Nobel Prize. An expert in population biology, ecology, evolution, and behavior, Ehrlich has published more than 600 articles and scientific papers. He is perhaps best known for his environmental classic The Population Bomb (1968). Paul Ehrlich and his wife Anne began working together shortly after their marriage in 1954. Anne Ehrlich received her B.S. in biology from the University of Kansas. As senior research associate in biology and associate director of the Center for Conservation Biology at Stanford University, she has lectured widely and written on various environmental issues, including the environmental consequences of nuclear war. Together, the Ehrlichs have written six books and dozens of magazine articles. (Bowker Author Biography) visa färre

Recensioner
The Population Bomb av Dr. Paul R. Enrlich
A much criticized book, but it showed us we have a problem. There are so many of us on the planet, and we are not caring very well for each other.
With the benefit of hindsight, most of this book fortunately has not come true. I'm reviewing it about 50 years after I read it.
Nos encontramos en un mundo en el que las especies se están extinguiendo (por desidia, por afán de explotación, por la búsqueda interminable de progreso etc.) a un ritmo mayor del que permitiría su sustitución por medio de procesos naturales. Nadie puede predecir a lo que abocará realmente esta situación, pero al sufrir un empobrecimiento la naturaleza, también le cuesta cada vez más proporcionamos esos servicios gratuitos a los que estamos acostumbrados, como son el depurar el aire y el agua, damos alimentos, reciclar los desperdicios, proteger a las cosechas de las plagas, nutrir el suelo, alegramos con la belleza de los pájaros y de las mariposas, etc.
Cuando estallará la crisis? Nadie es capaz de predecir con exactitud de cuál de las especies se puede prescindir ni cuál es la que de desaparecer pondrá el punto final a un sistema ecológico cuyo funcionamiento es muy interdependiente en todas sus partes, incluso en las más diminutas.… (mer)
