Description
A collection of eight very different pieces by Jack London, including an essay, short stories, plays, and personal narratives. The title essay, "The Human Drift", describes the ebb and flow of the world's population over the centuries, highlighting the effect of war and disease on checking the numbers. London argues that socialism offers the best hope of combating catasphrophic world hunger. He writes about sailing on San Francisco Bay in "Small-Boat Sailing" and a travel experience in "Nothing That Ever Came to Anything," and finishes with two humorous plays, "A Wicked Woman" and "The Birth Mark."
