Photos Censorship Points For Reflection From Board Pens

From Board Pens

The bibliography below is a selection from writings authored or co-authored by members of the SEPS board of directors and advisory board. They treat a diverse array of population, environmental, ecological and political issues. They introduce the thinking and work of our individual board members in their own prose. For many pieces a pdf file can be downloaded via a provided 'link.' For others, consult the journal, author or publisher directly. Regarding John Tanton, a major founder of the modern U.S. population stabilization movement, as sort of an honorary SEPS board member, we also list a few of his writings here as well.

A powerpoint presentation listed under Hurlbert (2013) describes examples of the censorship and deliberate neglect of US population issues by the scientific community that was the motivation for the formation of SEPS. It describes the first population booths, which were run under the aegis of Californians for Population Stabilization, the formation, strategy and principles of SEPS, and the success of the half dozen booths that have been operated under the aegis of SEPS as of September 2013.

Another powerpoint presentation listed under Schindler (2012) touches on a range of environmental issues, educates with a good selection of humorous (and depressing) cartoons, and politely goads academics and scientific societies to show some moxie and step up to the plate of the strong sustainability movement.
