Paul Ralph Ehrlich is an American biologist and educator who is the Bing Professor of Population Studies in the department of Biological Sciences at Stanford University and president of Stanford's Center for Conservation Biology. By training he is an entomologist specializing in Lepidoptera (butterflies), but he is better known as an ecologist and a demographer, specifically for his warnings about unchecked population growth and limited resources. Ehrlich became a household name after publication of his controversial 1968 book The Population Bomb.

Reviews

[Hank Rhoden · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting read as far as 1970s science propaganda and fear mongering goes. Worthless as far as real science and population have progressed. Reminds me of all of the "Climate Change" propaganda of today, with all of its insanity and date setting for the end of the world. Neither Ehrilch nor today's hysteria has come true. Interesting read from a historical standpoint, considering science and cultural ideas of that time. Shows that science can, though claiming god-like abilities, can really miss the mark.
