The book comes out exactly 50 years after Paul R. Ehrlich published 'The Population Bomb,' in which the Stanford University biology professor famously claimed that population growth would result in resource depletion and the starvation of hundreds of millions of people. The authors of 'Population Bombed' take stock of past scholarship on "depletionism" and provide a cheerful rejoinder to the doomsayers.
