The Population Bomb
Book • 1968
Published in 1968, 'The Population Bomb' by Paul and Anne Ehrlich predicts catastrophic consequences, including mass starvation and environmental ruin, due to unchecked population growth.
The book argues that immediate action is necessary to control population growth to prevent these dire outcomes.
Although many of the Ehrlichs' predictions did not come to pass, the book significantly raised awareness about population and environmental issues and influenced public policy in the 1960s and 1970s.
The authors emphasize the need for conscious regulation of human numbers and highlight the strain that growing populations place on the natural world.
