NEW ORLEANS—People walking around the Sheraton Hotel here are talking about population as if it were the most natural conversation in the world. The topic interests me, so I join in. As it happens, I’ve written a book on it, just published by Island Press, which I don’t shrink from mentioning. Just being here, though, reminds me that human numbers aren’t often talked about outside this hotel.
