A Much-Maligned Yet Significant Analysis

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

From some reviews of this book, you'd think the authors were advocating total global genocide or something equally ridiculous. Though I have yet to make it through every page of this massive tome, I've found nothing of the sort. Instead, I see a well-reasoned and level-headed attempt at addressing the incredibly complex problem of population, from the cultural dimensions to the biological and environmental ones. The sheer scope of this work is daunting, to say the least; but if you have a sturdy attention span, you'll find much food for thought in its pages.

It's a fantastic book for someone wants to find out about everything is going on right now. I tried to read few pages everyday as it is a large book and it's about 1" 1/2 thick.

This is your wake up call...

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2013

I have been deeply concerned about so-called 'environmentalism' for some time now, about what I could sense was an 'anti human' mindset that seemed to occupy so many of these people.

I watched some YouTube video's where this work is discussed by Webster Tarpley and thought that I would obtain this book myself and read it.

My copy of this book arrived a few weeks ago and I spent several weekends reading every word, chapter and recommendation.

I must admit, this is one of the most deeply disturbing, horrifying texts I have ever read.

Simply put, this book describes a future vision for the world that now exists within China; a world of forced sterilisations, forced abortions, eugenics, incredibly powerful central governments, carbon taxes, poisoned food and water supplies pumped full of highly toxic sterilisation agents...the list goes on and on. The book reads like some crazed Nazi fantasy, what is even more horrifying is that it was written and openly published in academia by people such as Holden whom now hold such highly esteemed positions in government and academia.

The environmental movement has morphed into a hard-core Malthusian Eugenics movement that sees humanity as the ultimate enemy of the planet, something to be managed and - where necessary - culled.

If you have ever wanted to know the deepest thoughts of the environmental movement, then this book lays them all bare for you to read.

This book is your wake up call.

Oliver Switch

Americas new director of science and technology policy

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2010

Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A "Planetary Regime" with the power of life and death over American citizens.

The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?

These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology -- informally known as the United States' Science Czar. In this book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:

* Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;

* The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;

* Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;

* People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.

* A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.

Impossible, you say? That must be an exaggeration or a hoax. No one in their right mind would say such things. [...]
