Standing Room Only is a short, simple book with a short, simple message:
overpopulation is the root cause of all the world’s environmental problems.
Author Douglas Ashmead says the West cannot pin the blame on the fast-growing
populations of the developing world, but instead must curb its extravagant use
of resources. The problem is not merely overpopulation, it is also increasing
demand on resources. Although packed with statistics, this skinny 93-page volume
is readily digestible. But you may choke at the free condom stuck on the cover
with the warning “More than this is needed”. Published by Hale, £8.99,
ISBN 0 7090 6039 4.
