AB In this book the author has collected and summarized the results of his studies of human reproduction and fertility as gathered over a long period of years, and their apparent effects on world population. Altogether the factual data are impressive, but the author also has not hesitated to express his personal views of the significance and implications of the observed facts. Regardless of the ultimate corroboration or disproval of Pearl's excursions into speculation, the facts presented alone are of great importance. This book may be considered as required reading for those who wish to speak authoritatively on problems of human reproductivity and population trends.
