From Earth to Oblivion

From Earth to Oblivion: The Passing of Humankind is an account that describes the ultimate human predicament” and exposes its inevitable outcome. Dr. Ross E. Goodrich, a geographer, examines evidence that demonstrates why humankind cannot survive much longer on this planet. Our population is growing, our living space is diminishing, and our sources of supplies needed for life support are limited and rapidly vanishing. Our numbers have already grown so out of harmony with the Earth’s carrying capacity that our species is on the fast track to economic and social failure and a twenty-first century population crash. The author offers a frank discussion of the very nature of humans’ expectation of survival—our belief that we have the ingenuity or perhaps the exalted position in the eyes of Mother Nature or a Divine Creator to be the exception, the one species who will avoid the inevitable. This unapologetic treatise provides a clear roadmap and a series of informed predictions that illustrate the path and the events that are propelling the human species toward oblivion. Dr. Goodrich discusses why we cannot abolish poverty, achieve world peace, and maintain the ecosystems that provide our food, water, energy, and a healthy environment. As such, he asserts that, in keeping with the flow of life on Earth, our species, Homo sapiens, is about to be disciplined by Mother Nature.
