The wizard and the prophet : two remarkable scientists and their dueling visions to shape tomorrow's world / Charles C. Mann.

Mann, Charles C., (author.). Pinchot, Bronson, (narrator.).

Summary:

From the best-selling, award-winning author comes an incisive portrait of the two little-known twentieth-century scientists, Norman Borlaug and William Vogt, whose diametrically opposed views shaped our ideas about the environment, laying the groundwork for how people in the twenty-first century will choose to live in tomorrow's world. With our civilization on the line, this is an insightful analysis that is an essential addition to the urgent conversation about how our children will fare on an increasingly crowded Earth.
