Publishing a book on Population and the Environment (edited by Bryan
Cartledge, Oxford University Press, £18.99, ISBN 0 19 854842 7) more than
a year after the UN population conference in Cairo, but referring to that event
in the future tense, seems a little crass. These collected lectures from the
period between 1993 and 1994 are a mishmash that adds little to the debate.
