Prof. John Leslie

His book "The End of the World", published this year, describes, with stunning erudition and lively wit, the prospects for humanity's survival, given current trends. Professor J. J. C. Smart, of the Australian National University, writes, 'It could well be the most important book of the year'. Sir Martin Rees, F.R.S., calls it 'a marvellously provocative book', while Professor Quentin Smith, of Western Michigan University, roundly describes its author as 'one of the most original and interesting thinkers writing today'.
