. By Jeffrey K. McKee. Explores the cause-and-effect relationship between human population growth and the mass extinction of countless species of plants and animals. It probes the past to find that humans and their ancestors have had negative impacts on species biodiversity for nearly two million years, and that extinction rates have accelerated since the origins of agriculture. Argues that the most effective measure to save Earth’s biodiversity is to slow population growth.

. By Lloyd T. Evans. Written to mark the 200th anniversary of the publication of Malthus' seminal Essay on the Principle of Population, this book looks at the links between population growth and agricultural innovation over the past 10,000 years. It illustrates how the evolution of agriculture has both shaped and been shaped by the course of world population growth, describes our present position, and explains possible future paths to food security for the planet. 
. By William Stanton. Illustrates the global population explosion of the past 250 years for every nation with a recorded population history. Presents the argument that a fundamental shift from a Darwinian world of ruthless competition to a gentler one with weak restraints on growth made tolerance, compassion, environmental concerns, and human rights possible because the growth of one population was no longer dependent on the decline of another. Further argues that despite the humanitarian views that emerged from this era, weak restraints on growth are self-destructive because expanding populations rapidly devour finite resources in a manner which is unsustainable. 
. By Lindsey Grant. A collection of essays of the subjects of Negative Population Growth, population change, and the impact of human crowding on the future of mankind.
