- Charles Birch has written this book to explain in simple, non-technical language the consequences of man's blind, unplanned progress in an age of explosive growth and technological development. Wherever he directs the focus of his writing - world population growth, world resources, the environment, social institutions or human relationships - the danger signals flash ..............

Promo from ABC RN - The seminal Australian scientist, Charles Birch, has died at the age of 91. To say he has a wide ranging expertise really understates his record. He started investigating insects and then population ecology, but over his 70-year career his expertise expanded to biology and even theology. His research took him to Chicago, Oxford and Sydney Universities. In 1990 he won the Templeton Prize for his work linking science and religion into what he calls 'an ecological model of God.'
Paul Ralph Ehrlich (born 29 May 1932) 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.[1][2]. By training he is an entomologist specializing in Lepidoptera (butterflies), but he is better known as an ecologist[1] and for his warnings about unchecked population growth and limited resources. Ehrlich became a household name[3][4] after publication of his controversial 1968 book The Population Bomb.
