Nature and Man's Fate (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258896317)

""Nature and Man's Fate"" is a thought-provoking book by Garrett Hardin that explores the relationship between human beings and the natural world. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which examines the concept of ""carrying capacity"" - the maximum number of individuals that an ecosystem can support without being depleted. Hardin argues that human population growth is rapidly exceeding the Earth's carrying capacity, and that this will inevitably result in environmental degradation and resource depletion.In the second part of the book, Hardin explores the ethical and moral implications of this situation. He argues that human beings have a responsibility to limit their population growth and to live sustainably in order to protect the natural world and ensure the survival of future generations. Hardin also discusses the role of technology in this process, arguing that while it can be a powerful tool for sustainable development, it must be used responsibly and in harmony with nature.Overall, ""Nature and Man's Fate"" is a compelling and insightful book that challenges readers to think deeply about their relationship with the natural world and the future of our planet. It is a must-read for anyone interested in environmentalism, sustainability, and the ethics of human behavior.This is a new release of the original 1959 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
