Synopsis

Lays out the perils of not recognizing the reality of genocide and ignoring the full implications of warfare. Shows how scarcity and surplus populations can lead to disaster, and suggests that present-day population growth, land resources, energy consumption, and per capita consumption cannot be sustained without leading to greater catastrophes. Subjects include biophysical limits to industrialization, the social impact of scarcity, postcolonial genocide, and lessons from Bosnia, Somalia, and Haiti.
