PhD Ross E. Goodrich 
From Earth to Oblivion 

An account that describes "the ultimate human predicament" and exposes its inevitable outcome. In From Earth to Oblivion: The Passing of Humankind, Dr. Ross E. Goodrich, a geographer, describes the ultimate human predicament: our population is growing, our living space is overcrowded, and life support sources are rapidly vanishing. He explains why we cannot control the size of our population, and that we cannot abolish poverty, achieve world peace, or establish a sustainable existence. He asserts that our predicament is preparing our population for a crash that is likely to begin the extinction of humanity. The author discusses the very nature of humans’ expectation of survival-our belief that we have the ingenuity or the exalted position in the eyes of Mother Nature or a Divine Creator to be the one species who will avoid the inevitable. But this treatise provides a clear roadmap and several predictions that illustrate the path and events that are propelling our species to oblivion.
