Population Bomb (book)

"Population Bomb," written by Paul Ehrlich in 1968, discusses the dire consequences of rapid population growth on global resources and the environment. Ehrlich argues that unchecked population increases will lead to widespread famine, environmental degradation, and social chaos. He emphasizes the urgent need for population control measures and sustainable practices to prevent impending crises. The book sparked significant debate on demographics, resource management, and environmental policy, drawing attention to the complex relationship between population growth and planetary health. It remains a pivotal work in discussions about sustainability and the challenges posed by rising human populations.
