description: If current world population trends were to continue, human numbers could more than double to 13 billion people by the end of this century. Given humanity's consumerist trends, with resulting global warming and the overall impact on vulnerable biodiversity and habitat, this would be ecologically disastrous! This book is that rare chronicle of sobering optimism in a world more accustomed to thinking about population as a dilemma with little hope of positive change. The authors journeyed the world in search of what is happening in country after country and discovered changes that have resulted in smaller family sizes and the empowerment of women and chldren, while creating critical pathways towards ecological sustainability.
