Butcher, David. "Not Going Out – what time is it on TV? Episode 4 Series 8 cast list and preview". Radiotimes.com . Retrieved 25 July 2017. Count Down is a solid fact-based description of an alarming problem that we humans face now. In the past forty years, human male sperm count has dropped by more than fifty percent. Female fertility also has declined precipitously in the same period. If this rate continues, then the human species could become extinct. In other words, writers like P.D. James ( Children of Men) are beginning to seem more like prescient visionaries than creators of dystopian science fiction.No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.'

Massively disappointing. I’ve had this in my “to read” queue for over a year and was really excited when it was finally available through my library. Unfortunately, this book contains about one lengthy article’s worth of information stretched out to fill a book. Seriously, if you’ve read any credible article on the subject in recent years you already know everything this book can teach you. If on the other hand, you have never even heard of this issue, then this might be a good introduction to the subject. The book does go into great detail - typically in the form of streams of statistics and numbers. I don't know if it's possible to write a book like this without going into statistics, but it became boring and bland; I ended up skipping some of the numbers because, ultimately, it is meaningless to me and doesn't paint a vivid picture of what is actually happening.Book of Mormon & KJV Christmas Advent Calendar - Names of Christ Advent Garland | Eucalyptus Leaves Jesse Tree Printable Advent Ornaments, Christmas Advent Coloring Book, Christmas Countdown Advent Calendar, DIY Ornaments Kids Activity Küll aga on raamatut lugedes selgelt tunda, et teksti ning sisu oleks pidanud (rohkem) toimetama, kuna autori stiil on väga muutlik. Kord korrektne ja neutraalne, siis jälle väga sõbramehelik ning emotsionaalne. Lisaks kipub kirjanik end veidi liiga palju kordama, venitades raamatut asjatult pikaks ning kohati lohisevaks. Swan also does an exploration of the demographic effects of declining fertility-- how the young generally support the elderly and the implications this has for the future. The scary part is that this topic isn't a hypothetical- it is already happening in some places and is starting to impact societies in others.
