"Standing Room Only: The World's Exploding Population" by Karl Sax, published by Beacon Press in 1960, offers a critical examination of the burgeoning global population crisis. This New Edition, released in April 1960, builds on Sax's original 1955 publication, "Standing Room Only: The Challenge of Overpopulation." Sax, a renowned geneticist and demographer, delivers a scholarly analysis of demographic trends and their implications for global resources and societal structures. This edition is particularly notable for its expanded insights and updated preface by the author. Although this edition is not a first, it is a significant work for those interested in the historical context of population studies. The book remains a vital resource for understanding mid-20th-century perspectives on overpopulation. The hardcover is in good condition, with some wear on the spine, but no dust jacket is present.
