BOOKS - Book Review: Countdown: Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth?

After penning his best seller The World Without Us, Weisman spent two years traveling the globe, investigating how we can survive in a world with entirely too many of us, set to brim with 10 billion humans later this century. From Minneapolis to Mexico, from the Holy Land to Vatican City, Weisman presents the intermingled stories of the scientists, religious leaders and humble aid workers all striving for or against a sustainable human future. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm
