<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>There was a time when humanity looked in the mirror and saw something precious, worth protecting and fighting for--indeed, worth liberating. But now we are beset on all sides by propaganda promoting a radically different viewpoint. According to this idea, human beings are a cancer upon the Earth, a species whose aspirations and appetites are endangering the natural order. This is the core of antihumanism. <p/><i>Merchants of Despair</i> traces the pedigree of this ideology and exposes its deadly consequences in startling and horrifying detail. The book names the chief prophets and promoters of antihumanism over the last two centuries, from Thomas Malthus through Paul Ehrlich and Al Gore. It exposes the worst crimes perpetrated by the antihumanist movement, including eugenics campaigns in the United States and genocidal anti-development and population-control programs around the world. <p/>Combining riveting tales from history with powerful policy arguments, <i>Merchants of Despair</i> provides scientific refutations to antihumanism's major pseudo-scientific claims, including its modern tirades against nuclear power, pesticides, population growth, biotech foods, resource depletion, industrial development, and, most recently, fear-mongering about global warming. <i>Merchants of Despair</i> exposes this dangerous agenda and makes the definitive scientific and moral case against it.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Robert Zubrin is the author of numerous books, including <i>Energy Victory</i> and <i>The Case for Mars</i>, a bestseller on space exploration and the human future.
