Every four days there are a million more people on the planet. More people and fewer resources.

In this timely work, Alan Weisman examines how we can shrink our collective footprint so that we don't stomp any more species - including our own - out of existence. The answer: reducing gradually and non-violently the number of humans on the planet whose activities, industries and lifestyles are damaging the Earth.

Weisman, one of the most brilliant journalists and environmental writers, will travel the globe navigating the many cultural, moral, religious and economic aspects of this issue in what promises to be an international classic.
