Life on the Brink is an unusual volume in that it allows non-­‐academic, activist voices as well as  politicians,  environmental  studies  scholars,  and  social  scientists  to  participate  in  the  argument that concerns us all, the argument about the future of our planet and of humanity. The common thread running through the essays of two dozen nature writers and activists hailing from a range of disciplines and offering varied perspectives is their shared concern about  population  growth.  All  contributors  see  population  growth  as  a  major  force  behind  our most serious ecological problems, including global climate change, habitat loss and species  extinctions,  air  and  water  pollution,  and  food  and  water  scarcity.  Despite  the  differences in perspectives, all contributors argue that ending population growth worldwide is a moral imperative that deserves renewed commitment.
