Life on the Brink aspires to reignite a robust discussion of
population issues among environmentalists, environmental studies
scholars, policy makers, and the general public. Some of the
leading voices in the American environmental movement restate the
case that population growth is a major force behind many of our
most serious ecological problems, including global climate change,
habitat loss and species extinction's, air and water pollution, and
food and water scarcity. As we surpass seven billion world
inhabitants, contributors argue that ending population growth
worldwide and in the United States is a moral imperative that
deserves renewed commitment. Hailing from a range of disciplines
and offering varied perspectives, these essays hold in common a
commitment to sharing resources with other species and a
willingness to consider what will be necessary to do so. In defence
of nature and of a vibrant human future, contributors confront hard
issues regarding contraception, abortion, immigration, and limits
to growth that many environmentalists have become too timid or
politically correct to address in recent years. Ending population
growth will not happen easily. Creating genuinely sustainable
societies requires major change to economic systems and ethical
values coupled with clear thinking and hard work. Life on the Brink
is an invitation to join the discussion about the great work of
building a better future. Contributors: Albert Bartlett, Joseph
