"This book, at one and the same time a brilliant essay in politics and a triumph of scientific scholarship, has been for two decades one of the classic works on food and population. It has been translated into twenty-four languages and continues to circulate in most of them. Shortly before his death in the fall of 1973, Dr. de Castro, aware that the rapid changes on the world scene were lessening the value of his work, undertook a complete revision, updating, and enlargement of the text." -- From the dust jacket.
