Food Production and Population Growth - Part 1In November 1998 Daniel Quinn and biologist Alan D. Thornhill met in dialogue with a small group in Houston, Texas, to forge a new tool designed to unseat the unexamined conventional wisdom that typically shapes all discourse on the subject of population. This program, Food production and Population Growth, is that tool.

Thornhill, Ph.D, is an ecologist and evolutionary biologist with more than two decades of experience in academic research and teaching and in developing and coordinating both Federal and non-governmental environmental science programs.

What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire - FULLIn Timothy Bennett's feature-length documentary he reviews his Midwestern roots, ruthlessly examines the stories he was raised with, and then details the grim realities that we now face: escalating climate change, resource shortages, degraded ecosystems, and exploding global population, and teetering global economies.
He identifies and calls into question the fundamental assumption that has led to this unprecedented crisis in human history: that humans were destined to dominate the rest of the community of life with the Culture of Empire.
