The world ahead
Despite being a bit out of date, the information is still relevant. I enjoyed Baskin's writing style, clearly many topics from multiple disciplines in an easy to understand way. Though at points the message sounds bleak, this is a worthwhile read.
I wish books like this would be incorporated into high school curriculum instead of other books. Perhaps courses should read this instead of Darwin; let's put aside the evolution debate and worry about understanding and saving out only planet.
