The original book predicting that the world is coming to an end if we didn't listen to him.... then another, then another...all with predictions about what WOULD happen ...and didn't.... I'm an "environmentalist" with an earned MS in plant ecology so I know what is going on. He predicted that in the seventies we would all be living on artificial islands because of overpopulation....ummm no...so another book and more predictions. none came true.
The World Health Organization itself predicts NOW that the worlds population will stabilize around 2040 ....notice not collapse and that the problem is not "having kids" it is tyrants that won't feed their people.

the author was 100% wrong as to what the future (2000's now) would look like; however, the thing he has foretold could still happen especially now during this pandemic. I enjoyed reading the book and read it with quickness and ease. I look now at the authors lectures on Youtube that he give he is very insightful.

Makes wildly inaccurate predictions of future earth (now past earth).
Contains comically antiquated views on race, gender and nationality.
Good for a giggle if you're stuck in a hospital bed.

There is a lot of mis-direction on global warming - written in the 60’s, the population growth is in authors opinion, the doubling and tripling of population is the real culprit- must read if you can find it

Paul Ehrlich is the grandfather of eco-pessimism. I chose to read his book in 2021 because I knew about many of his apocalyptic claims of gloom & doom were supposed to take place in the 1980's and 90's. Reading Ehrlich was an exercise in reflection & humor. He continues with the same dystopian predictions today, in spite of the clear evidence that climate change is overrated hype.

This book is a classic. It was published more than 50 years ago. It is as appropriate now as it was when it was written.

The quality of the book itself was good but the content was garbage.

The book was not in as good of condition as described. Some pages folded at the top and others pushed in from the top.

Population Bomb review
Reviewed in Canada on January 30, 2013Verified Purchase
This book is a must-read for everybody,
ahead of it's time but now it's time has come (for the masses to understand the concepts).
It's required reading for the sake of humanity but also for those who don't realize that the whole 'cataclysmic armaggedon' scenario is principally based on the need to 'reset' population levels and create a more consistent level of existance for all of humanity.
(which cannot be done by allowing the majority to 'breed' mindlessly while expecting the 'good life', which only creates mindless production/consumerism and environmental and quality of life degradation)

on the road to collective suicide, killing our own children along the way. "Homo sapiens"? Homo stupido! Read also Stephen Emmott's "10 billion" and wake up.
