Abstract

remarkable thing about MauriceKing is his ingenuity in getting his controversial ideas into print.Motivated by public health and humanitarian concerns, he has long pursued a well researched, passionate, somewhat eccentric, and tireless campaign to avert demographic and environmental disaster in an increasingly overpeopled, overconsuming world.Now entering the fourth quarter of his first century, after several decades of engagement and leadership in primary health care in developing countries, King has reinvented himself as "knowledge engineer," a sort of literary puppeteer.The editors of this book, all colleagues from his years of work and travel, have contributed ideas and critiques.King, however, has done much of the writing and design.
