About this ebook
Named a Notable Book for 2005 by the American Library Association, One with Nineveh is a fresh synthesis of the major issues of our time, now brought up to date with an afterword for the paperback edition. Through lucid explanations, telling anecdotes, and incisive analysis, the book spotlights the three elephants in our global living room-rising consumption, still-growing world population, and unchecked political and economic inequity-that together are increasingly shaping today's politics and humankind's future. One with Nineveh brilliantly puts today's political and environmental debates in a larger context and offers some bold proposals for improving our future prospect.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Paul Ehrlich is a riveting speaker. After listening to a number of his talks in which he mentioned as an aside that his current focus is no longer the science of overpopulation (which is in many respects a solved problem), but on the social science of how to get societies to face up to this fact, I decided to read this in the hope that it discussed these social science issues. Sadly it does not; and it's not nearly as entertaining reading Ehrlich as hearing him.
