ABOUT THIS BOOK: In this absorbing biography, Ernst Baumler traces Erlich's life from his birth in 1854, through the years of academic training and clinical and laboratory work that culminated in his development of serum therapeutics, for which he won a Nobel Prize in 1908. This and his subsequent contributions to immunology and chemotherapy brought Erlich into the community of Germany's foremost scientists, including Robert Koch and Emil von Behring, and this biography provides not only a detailed account of Erlich's life and work, but also a portrait of the fervent intellectual society whose exciting scientific achievements were one of the hallmarks of the era.(Publisher).

Are we headed for a world of scarce resources and environmental catastrophe, or will innovation and markets yield greater prosperity In 1980, the iconoclastic economist Julian Simon challenged celebrity biologist Paul Ehrlich to a bet. Their wager on the future prices of five metals captured the public’s imagination as a test of coming prosperity or doom. Ehrlich, author of the landmark book The Population Bomb, predicted that rising populations would cause overconsumption, resource scarcity, and famine—with apocalyptic consequences for humanity. Simon optimistically countered that human welfare would flourish thanks to flexible markets, technological change, and our collective ingenuity. Simon and Ehrlich’s debate reflected a deepening national conflict over the future of the planet. The Bet weaves the two men’s lives and ideas together with the era’s partisan political clashes over the environment and the role of government. In a lively narrative leading from the dawning environmentalism of the 1960s through the pivotal presidential contest between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan and on into the 1990s, Paul Sabin shows how the fight between Ehrlich and Simon—between environmental fears and free-market confidence—helped create the gulf separating environmentalists and their critics today. Drawing insights from both sides, Sabin argues for using social values, rather than economic or biological absolutes, to guide society’s crucial choices relating to climate change, the planet’s health, and our own.

"A wonderful book . . . will be enjoyed by anyone with interest in either birds or the impact that humanity is having on its fellow travelers on spaceship earth." ―Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb From eastern Texas the remnants of a once-magnificent forest, nurtured by moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, extend a thousand miles to the Atlantic shore and as far north as Chesapeake Bay. This unique woodland gave birth to two woodpeckers, one large―the ivory-billed woodpecker, which has not been sighted in over ten years and which is almost surely extinct―and the other small―the red-cockaded woodpecker, which may yet be saved. What distinguishes this bird from others is its unique niche. Its adaptations make it totally dependent on pine trees in an open forest. This ecosystem―that of the loblolly pine tree forest―is the bird's onlly habitat. But these southeastern pine trees are valuable natural resources. Having withstood the ravages of nature for thousands of years, it is now entirely possible that the woodpecker will be lost because of a combination of "benign neglect" and commercial interests.

Why do we behave the way we do? Biologist Paul Ehrlich suggests that although people share a common genetic code, these genes "do not shout commands at us...at the very most, they whisper suggestions." He argues that human nature is not so much result of genetic coding; rather, it is heavily influenced by cultural conditioning and environmental factors. With personal anecdotes, a well-written narrative, and clear examples, Human Natures is a major work of synthesis and scholarship as well as a valuable primer on genetics and evolution that makes complex scientific concepts accessible to lay readers.

In this classic bestseller, Paul de Kruif dramatizes the pioneering bacteriological work of such scientists as Leeuwenhoek, Spallanzani, Koch, Pasteur, Reed, and Ehrlich. This seventieth anniversary edition features a new introduction by F. Gonzalez-Crussi. Index.

Paul R. Ehrlich's best-selling The Population Bomb predicted disaster due to overpopulation, that "in the 1970s & 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death", that nothing can be done to avoid mass famine & radical action is needed to limit overpopulation. The book is a Malthusian catastrophe argument, that population growth will outpace agricultural growth unless controlled. Ehrlich assumes population is going to rise exponentially & that available resources are at their limits. Whereas Malthus didn't make firm predictions of imminent catastrophe, Ehrlich warned of potential massive disasters. Unlike Malthus, he didn't see any means of avoiding the disaster entirely. The solutions for limiting its scope he proposed were more radical than those Malthus postulated. The book deals not only with food shortage, but also with other crises caused by rapid population growth, expressing the possibility of disaster in broader terms. A population bomb requires: A rapid rate of change A limit of some sort Delays in perceiving the limit The predictions came true, but the effects are mainly unfelt in the developed world. Food production grows exponentially at a rate higher than population growth, in both developed & developing countries, partially due to the efforts of Borlaug's Green Revolution of the '60s. Food per capita is the highest in history. On one hand population growth rates significantly slowed down, especially in the developed world. Famine hasn't been eliminated, but its root cause is political instability, not global food shortage. On the other hand, in the '80s & '90s in a number of countries population growth rates still exceeded economic growth. On quite a few occasions political instability was caused by food shortages.

The Population Bomb is a best-selling book written by Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich and his wife, Anne Ehrlich (who was uncredited), in 1968. It warned of the mass starvation of humans in the 1970s and 1980s due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, and advocated immediate action to limit population growth. Fears of a "population explosion" were widespread in the 1950s and 60s, but the book and its author brought the idea to an even wider audience. The book has been criticized since its publishing for its alarmist tone, and in recent decades for its inaccurate predictions. The Ehrlichs stand by the basic ideas in the book, stating in 2009 that "perhaps the most serious flaw in The Bomb was that it was much too optimistic about the future" and believe that it achieved their goals because "it alerted people to the importance of environmental issues and brought human numbers into the debate on the human future."The Population Bomb was written at the suggestion of David Brower the executive director of the environmentalist Sierra Club, and Ian Ballantine of Ballantine Books following various public appearances Ehrlich had made regarding population issues and their relation to the environment. Although the Ehrlichs collaborated on the book, the publisher insisted that a single author be credited, and also asked to change their preferred title: Population, Resources, and Environment. Much of the book is spent describing the state of the environment and the food security situation, which is described as increasingly dire. Ehrlich argues that as the existing population was not being fed adequately, and as it was growing rapidly it was unreasonable to expect sufficient improvements in food production to feed everyone. He further argued that the growing population placed escalating strains on all aspects of the natural world.

“BioGraffiti is a highly diverting mix of the whimsical and scholarly, of science and art. It will be read―and reread―by those interested in biology and life.” ―Paul R. Ehrlich Legend has it (it may even be true) that J. B. S. Haldane, when asked by a clergyman what he could infer about God from the works of creation, responded, “He must have had an inordinate fondness for beetles.” Were I asked to infer something essential about Homo sapiens from his work, I should probably reply that this zoological odd-ball required humor to lighten a life taken too seriously. How else can we explain the fact that very profession has its underground classic of humorous self-deprecation and verse? Garstang’s Larval Forms has long filled this role for evolutionary biology. But, as a residual Victorian, Garstang turned out some mighty stuffy poems―and recapitulatory theory of the details of invertebrate morphology do no reside on the frontier of modern biology. But voyeurs and hedonists can now rejoice, for John Burns has produced a worthy successor, a work full of all that is modern in evolutionary biology―mathematical modeling, ecological strategies, ethological theories and, oh yes, plenty of sex.
