Editorial Reviews

Review

This revised edition of a feminist classic adds new information on AIDS, contraception, and the anti-abortion movement as it probes world patterns of population and reproduction control and its meaning for the future. Rapid population growth is here linked to economic and social problems in chapters which provide strong keys to understanding world population patterns. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Frightening and revealing December 28, 2000

By Christina Dunigan

Format:Paperback

The research is painstaking and relentlessly documented. Statistics and anecdotal evidence are interwoven flawlessly, bringing home the human reality and demonstrating the full scope of the problem. I recommend this book, without qualification, to everyone concerned with reproductive politics regardless of where they stand on the prolife/prochoice spectrum.
