"The Malthusian Moment" locates the origins of modern American environmentalism in a twentieth-century revival of interest in Thomas Malthus's theory of population growth, shedding new light on some of the big stories of postwar American life: the role of the federal government, urban and suburban problems, the Civil Rights and women's movements, the role of scientists in a democracy, new attitudes about sex and sexuality, and the emergence of the "New Right."
