Paul R. Ehrlich reflects on his life, from his love affair with his wife, Anne, to his scientific research, public advocacy, and concern for global issues. Interweaving the range of his experiences - as an airplane pilot, a desegregationist, a proud parent - his insights are priceless on issues such as biodiversity loss, overpopulation, depletion of resources, and deterioration of the environment. A lifelong advocate for women's reproductive rights, Ehrlich also helped to debunk scientific bias associating skin color and intelligence and warned some fifty years ago about a possible pandemic and the likely ecological consequences of a nuclear war. This book is an important contribution to literature focused on the human predicament, including problems of governance and democracy in the 21st century, and insight into the ecological and evolutionary science of our day.
