1965Best.-Nr. 1128Boston: Beacon Press 1965. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Inscribed by Appleman on the front free endpaper: "For Don & Mary Alice fondly -- Phil." Uncommon signed and uncommon in hardcover in general. A book about the specter of overpopulation that predates Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb by three years and seems likely to have influenced it not least because of the similar title. The title is probably also an allusion to Silent Spring. With a foreword by Julian Huxley. From the jacket: "Until the fundamental problem--that of population control--is met Dr. Appleman stresses gifts and loans and programs to help underdeveloped areas increase food production and step up industrialization are only stopgaps." The book examines stances by both the Catholic church and Communists along the way. Appleman is perhaps best known as a poet and Darwin scholar and the entwining of the two; this is his first book. A near fine copy in blue paperboard and cloth spine with just a touch of rubbing to spine ends; in a near fine jacket. Beacon Press hardcover
