What is The Land Is Full : Addressing Overpopulation in Israel about?

During the past sixty-eight years, Israel’s population has increased from one to eight million people. Such exponential growth has produced acute environmental and social crises in this tiny country. Alon Tal, one of Israel’s foremost environmentalists, considers the ramifications of the extraordinary demographic shift, from burgeoning pollution and dwindling natural resources to overburdened infrastructure and overcrowding. Based on extensive fieldwork and interviews, the book examines the origins of Israel’s population policies and how they must change to support a sustainable future. ** Review “In this brilliant book a leading environmental scientist, Alon Tal, focuses attention on a key element in his nation’s ecological predicament—its vast overpopulation.”—Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich, authors of The Annihilation of Nature (Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich) “ The Land Is Full is the first comprehensive attempt to raise the issue of population growth in Israel and its social, economic, and environmental implications. Tal crosses a dizzying range of controversial subjects with passion, persistence, and sensitivity.” —Daniel E. Orenstein, Technion - Israel Institute of Tec
