DR. STEPHEN D. MUMFORD is president of the Center for
Research on Population and Security. For more than 20 years his
principal research interest has been the relationship between
world population growth and national and global security. While
on military duty in Asia, he first recognized the linkage between
political instability and population pressures. A graduate of
the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Mumford was
commissioned in the Army Medical Service Corps, leaving active
duty with the rank of Captain. He received his master's
degree in public health and doctorate in population studies from
the University of Texas. In the course of his work he has
traveled widely in Third World countries. For more than two
decades he has been a lead scientist in the evaluation of
sterilization methods, including the quinacrine pellet
nonsurgical method of female sterilization, collaborating with
scientists in more than 20 countries. He is a member of the
Board of Directors of The Churchman Associates. In addition to
publishing two books on biomedical and social aspects of family
planning, as well as scientific articles in more than a score of
journals, his three earlier major works in his primary field of
specialization are these: Population Growth Control: The Next
Move is America's (New York: Philosophical Library,
1977), American Democracy and the Vatican: Population Growth and
National Security (Amherst, New York: Humanist Press, 1984)
and The Pope and the New Apocalypse: The Holy War Against Family
Planning (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina: Center for
Research on Population and Security, 1986).
