Grave global challenges, such as biodiversity loss and climate change, deserve our urgent and undivided attention. Realizing our common humanity calls us to embrace common responsibility and care for one another and our single, precious planet. Global Population Speak Out features copies of a remarkable book, Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot, as seeds of change: spreading awareness, promoting discussion and inspiring action. Please join us and Speak Out.
Les défis mondiaux graves, comme la perte de la biodiversité et le changement climatique, méritent notre attention urgente et commune. Le fait que nous devrions réaliser notre humanité ensemble nous appelle à assumer notre responsabilité également ensemble et prendre soin des uns et des autres ainsi que de notre unique et précieuse planète. Le programme Parole au nom de la Population mondiale dispose d'exemplaires d'un livre remarquable, sur le Surdéveloppement, la Surpopulation, et le Dépassement qui sont en fait comme les graines du changement. Ainsi, devrions-nous faire une large campagne de sensibilisation, promouvoir la discussion et prendre des actions pouvant être à ce sujet des sources d’inspiration. Joignons-nous et exprimons-nous avec force.

A stunningly beautiful book, Over Over Over calls to mind the films of Godfrey Reggio, who some critics called to account for making the ugly—exploding napalm consuming whole villages—look visually compelling. Despite the beautiful images of often ugly things—degraded or devastated land and seascapes, wholesale slaughter of non-human creatures, human crowding and poverty—there is no getting lost and forgetting what is before us: the injury we have wrought as a species to others, the Earth and ourselves.
"Over-Over-Over features a refreshingly spare text. There’s an introduction by the guiding founder of the Population Media Center, William Ryerson; a foreword by Musimbi Kanyoro, a veteran defender of family planning as a fundamental human right; and closing comments from Eileen Crist, an advocate for the myriad other species that our own overwhelming presence threatens to push off the planet. You should read their intelligent remarks, because it’s well worth the time – even though you’ll be tempted to go right to the pictures. And understandably so: The real star of this book is the photography."
There are thousands of essays, articles and books dealing with population but “Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot” provides a convincing new way of understanding the impacts of population size on human welfare and nature. Through well-chosen quotes, and stunning photographs, this largely visual presentation documents the realities and role of burgeoning human numbers on a broad variety of important areas including the destruction of wildlife and natural systems, air and water pollution, food insecurity and climate change.
