The Environmental Movement's Retreat from Advocating U.S. Population Stabilization (1970-1998): A First Draft of History
The Journal of Policy History
Vol. 12, No. 1 2000
 "This
has the power and balance and clarity to bring about a rebirth of
the environmental movement in the U.S. .... and it might just lead
environmental scientists to reassume civic responsibilities in this
area that they dropped a generation ago." — Dr. Stuart H. Hurlbert,
Professor of Biology, San Diego State University
"I
found the reprint by Beck and Kolankiewicz an impressive piece of
work. It is a very clear and comprehensive examination of the conundrum
that we face. As one who has worked in the environmental movement
for some years, I can find no fault in their analysis." — John
Gaffin, Myers Flat, CA
"...it
was indeed quite useful to have a good perspective on the 'retreat'
from 1970 until the late 1990's. It's also frustrating to see how
much time has been (and is still being) lost on this critically
important issue."
— J. Kenneth Smail, Professor of Anthropology at Kenyon College.
"I
will take it along for my vacation reading — my brief review
indicates it is right on target." — Senator Gaylord Nelson,
founder of Earth Day
"Finally
got to your Journal of Policy History article last night. I really
liked it.... Thanks for all the effort you put into that article.
I'm directing people to it." —Tom McKenna, President,
Vermonters for Reduced Immigration
"For
someone who reads so many population articles that they mostly all
merge into one, the Environmental Movement's Retreat from Advocating
U.S. Population Stabilization, stands alone. It stands out for dealing
with questions that have been bothering most of us ecological people
for a long time. The detailed analysis of the history of the environmental
movement's distancing from science and ecology struck me as accurate
and true.
I have
recommended it to everyone on the Australians for an Ecologically
Sustainable Population email list. Much of what the article relates
is applicable to Australia.
If
possible, let Roy Beck and Leon Kolankiewicz know how much their
work is appreciated and that it makes a difference even as far away
as Australia." — Sheila Newman, Australians for an
Ecologically Sustainable Population
