Much like Hans Christian Anderson's "The Emperor's New Cloths", Garrett Hardin explores several subjects in the attempt to focus a light which to expose some truth. A Heretic, from the Greek meaning of "to choose for oneself", Mr. Hardin self proclaims that he sets out for his own heretic's attempt to point out some of the naked emperors of our time.

The book is a collection of his essays with respect to the following subjects:

1) Immigration
2) Evolution
3) Human Ecology, and
4) Language - The Subtle Enemy

If you have enjoyed Garret Hardin's other popular works such as Living Within Limits, and Filters of Folly, this essay collection forms much of the basis for those very fine works.
