Washington Post Reviews Three New Books for Earth Day

Just in time for Earth Day, the Washington Post book section this month reviewed three new books that offer a grim environmental assessment.  The books by Heather Rogers, Bill McKibben, and Paul Collier, suggests that human activity is doing irreparable harm to the environment and the human prospect.  Thomas Hayden, the reviewer, criticizes the authors, noting that, "Bizarrely, none of these authors discuss population growth in any kind of depth, if at all." Hayden goes on to say, "Condoms and birth control won't solve all our environmental and economic problems.  But they can make almost every one we have substantially easier to deal with."
