Don Paarlberg: Toward a well-fed world (1988, Iowa State University Press) No rating

Yuan Long Ping has bought China valuable time with which to bring down the rate of population growth. As agricultural science advances, the threat of famine retreats. Yuan leads toward a well-fed world. He has also taught a valuable lesson for those remaining few who need it — that scientific achievement in agriculture has moved beyond the Western nations that first produced it.

Toward a well-fed world by  (The Henry A. Wallace series on agricultural history and rural studies)

(原文有个“Wetern”大概是别字……) 网上引用的中文译版是这样的:

他增长的粮食实质上降低了人口增长率。他在农业科学的成就击败了饥饿的威胁。他正引导我们走向一个丰衣足食的世界。

当时看到就有点疑惑,“实质上降低了人口增长率”到底是怎么降低的……然后原文里其实很清楚:为中国赢得了降低人口增长率的时间。

(还没看其它国家的部分,不知道“Yuan leads toward a well-fed world”是客套的还是真的点题的赞誉)
