I was browsing the textbooks for next quarter at UCSD - and came across this required text for a class taught by the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Dept.
Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization (W.W. Norton & Company)
by Lester R. Brown
"Plan B 3.0 is a comprehensive plan for reversing the trends that are fast undermining our future. Its four overriding goals are to stabilize climate, stabilize population, eradicate poverty, and restore the earth's damaged ecosystems," says Brown. "Failure to reach any one of these goals will likely mean failure to reach the others as well."
