We're In Deep Doo Doo
Wow. What a ride. This book had me on the edge of my seat. I can see why other reviewers might find fault in this grand overview of ecological,socio-economic and political problems as not offering enough new information or covering too much ground. However, I personaly am thankful for such a comprehesive collection of troubles. "High Noon: Twenty Global Problems and Twenty Years to Solve Them" by ...

What Is Wrong With These People?
I won't repeat what Alan Lewis said below, but I completely agree with him. It sounds, to me, as if the other reviewers are in denial of what's actually happening in the world.

In the Company of Crows and Ravens

12 reviews
John M. Marzluff, Tony Angell

Yale University Press, 2007

Those noisy neighbours
They lack the colour glories of parrots and lorikeets. They're not like the little tweetie birds of our childhood books. Probably the best known of them is Poe's bleak image - perched atop a skull croaking its dismal litany. Long before Poe, however, the corvids had gained a shady reputation in Western European legends and myths. Crows and ravens were messengers of dark fortunes sent by ...

Island Press, 2008

A great introduction to the environmental dilemma
Paul and Anne Ehrlich have done an incredible job assembling a coherent look at one of the world's biggest issues: the relationship between humanity and the natural environment.

The Population Bomb

Paul R. Ehrlich

Ballantine Books, 1970

Ray
Sorry, Mr Gallagher, I disagree with your review of The Population Bomb, which I find to be a useful book. It is my opinion that if the US had continued to pursue the policies of conservation and alternative energy of the 1970s (engendered by the OPEC gas shortage) in this country (and other industrialized states) that the world would be much better off while dealing with the starvation, ...

Human Natures: Genes, Cultures, and the Human Prospect

18 reviews
Paul R. Ehrlich

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

Excellent reading for both the scientist and lay person
Ehrlich has added to a number of good inter-disciplinary books that have been published in the last few years that all bring together the social and hard sciences. This is a well written and brilliantly engaging work. Few readers will fail to come away after reading this without some sort of intellectual reward. Culture as a model of human evolution is emphasised, not to overtake genetics, but ...
